Ask HN: Requests for Software – have something you want built?

8 points by NewUser76312 14 hours ago

I thought it could be interesting to have a 'reverse Show HN', where instead of people showing what they've built, people can post about what they want built :)

Do you have any Requests for Software?

No hard requirements or constraints, anything from a fun hobby idea to something your $BIG_CO may desperately need.

The motivation for the idea is pretty simple: some of us like building, but may be out of ideas of interesting things to build. Hope others find the thread interesting or useful, cheers.

I want a product that helps me choose the right health insurance plan based on a set of questions, or even a list of preferences, including who my primary doctor, dentist is etc.

I doubt anyone can build this reliably though. The incentives are simply not there and it isnt an interesting hobby project either

Please make a simple yet powerful video editing native app (macos) that doesn’t suck and doesn’t require a degree to make all the basic stuff that a youtuber needs.

Closest thing is screenflow, next (much farther away in “suck” department) - camtasia.
