Nice try, open source developers who want to make the world a better place.

Masturbator/Dildo software that integrates with an EEG to scan your brain, know when you're about to cum, and then edge you over and over again.
Too difficult. Just gonna build a machine that gently zaps your brain's cum center continuously.
An easy one I would do myself if I had more time. A calorie tracker that does not try to get you into a cult.
- The only time it accesses the internet is to update its on-board database.
- None of your data gets sent anywhere unless you choose to share it (for things like new foods).
- No suggestions.
- No exercise programs or tracking
- No sleep tracking.
- Tracks only what you want. Extras available through add-ons or something, but I don't care about tracking nutrients, fat, carbs, etc. so keep them out of my way.
- In short, follow the Unix guideline of an app doing one thing and doing it well.
If you run Android, check out "Energize" on fdroid.
A multimedia centre like Kodi or Jellyfin with the ability to schedule shows like it was a regular TV channel. With shows playing on their time slots, a random movie starting every day at ten.
There are times that I just want to turn on the TV and watch whatever is on without having to scroll through the entire library for something I could be in the mood for.
have you looked at ersatztv?
A phone app that automatically accepts calls from suspected scam numbers, robocalls and unknown numbers and immediately mutes the mic, keeping the call going until the machine on the other side of the line disconnects and marks my number as non-working.
This has been how I've gone down from multiple spam calls a week to just a few a year. I'd really like to automate that.
Something (app whatever) that divines the "evil" in all the things I need to buy, for me, without me having to do research on who has sold out, who is supporting killing babies, who is killing the rainforests, who is using child slave labour to extract their products etc etc. It's fucking exhausting and monotonous, you can't just check once, you gotta click refresh every bloody day. It's doing my head in. I just want to buy stuff that I can eat etc, that isn't tainted in others blood. Fuck this timeline, I can't wait till it corrects itself, shit gunna be glorious. I'll be there with some ethically sourced popcorn and a Molotov.

Just a couple I know of
Searching for 'fairtrade company list' or 'ethical wholesale' brings up a fair few (you'll have to dodge the SEO botslop sites yourself, but if you search for pages publushed before 2021 there shouldn't be as many)
An actual, healthy, good online social ecosystem. A place with deep quality conversation without bots, trolls, rage bait, misinformation, etc. Somewhere that felt like actual community.
I would like an app to summon the vultures when there is a dead animal in my yard. Click for vultures.
A peer-to-peer prediction market where instead of betting on forest fires, we bet on datacenter fires and mansion fires.
Who would bet against those fires in a platformike that?
An open source, cross platform self paced learning app which gives you quizzes, text documents to read in a similar format to Wikipedia pages or Kinnu info slides, automatically revolving cards of text to glance at, a resizable and responsive UI that allows you to put it anywhere and still be useful, and an assistant to clarify information, chat with, and assist in creating documents to run in the app by using documents you feed it, which can be things like course work for uni or school, or informal self interests.
I have in fact wrote an app in python last year for a programming class that does the responsive UX design, the revolving text, and has a fair amount of settings (such as dark/light mode switching, text colour customisation, the ability for the window to be always on top and to remove the title bar when needed, and to import CSV files into the program to be part of the text reading database). I plan to continue adding features because I see it as a worthwhile endeavour since it assisted me in other highschool classes, and expanding it and making it available to anyone would be cool as hell.
Also everything will be locally ran because fuck the cloud, fuck SaaS and fuck tools that require internet to function.
This goes into the presently unrealistic, but I want a HUD that can display quests, tasks, inventory and health stats.
Some wizard tool I can download that will swap out Windows for a stable Linux distro, like Fedora or Debian.
I just want something that'll chop the sponsored segment out of my podcasts. Can't be that hard. Every sponsor segment starts and ends with a standard jingle, so just have the software look for that opening and closing jingle and cut out whatever's in between, right?
Honestly considering vibe coding it because ads are the reason I don't listen to my podcasts anymore
I want a program that will digitize my brain and give me control over all the inputs and weights.
Free me from this accursed prison of flesh!!
Fully featured Open source drivers for all popular devices. RINA implementations for all major platforms and architectures.
Homescreen widget for my phone thats actually just a tamagotchi. Maybe it already exists and I just havent looked for it.
Having to open the app and shit is already too much hassle. But if its alive in the corner whenever I turn my phone on I'd love it.
Maybe? Connect it to the step-counter so it knows if its been a walk that day, or to earn food/medicine whatever? Already sounds overdeveloped.
Regular tamagotchi please.
open source drivers for all common graphics and networking cards. these currently need binary blobs in linux to work
A way of disabling "AI overview" and llm "Shop assistants" that inject themselves into my view across every website that I visit.
a Social Network that uses usb flash drive
instead of the web it is that people physically exchange flash drives to share content
it just needs 1 thing: not having to manage configs or directory on the flash drive
and then everyone involved immediately gets every piece of malware that currently exists within the first day
I really like the idea of a Sneakernet where its operation is somewhat abstracted rather than entirely manual.
Is there any tool that makes it easy to host videos on my website and emulate the YouTube watching experience?
Like, people go to my website, watch the video in a player, then when it ends they get a few tiles either of other videos I have up, or recent videos from others I've approved? Maybe it just pulls links and thumbnails from specific RSS feeds I list somewhere on the backend?
Penis_enlargement.exe
If I could make that, I'd be rich. And have a big penis.
