Jason Fried ideas:

1) The "Scratch-off Ad" app idea

• Full-screen ad you scratch off with your finger

• Blow into mic to clear "dust"

• Chance to win prizes/coupons

• Global, once-a-day experience

• Can build with a small team

• Would print if you nail virality

2) "Shower Door Sketch" app concept

• Simulates drawing on steamy shower glass

• Ephemeral canvas that fogs up & clears

• Add shower sounds for immersion

• Screenshot to save ideas

• Perfect for creative brainstorming

3) How do you bring real-world experiences to digital

• This is a product insight that brings endless startup ideas

• Leverage mystery, surprise, uncertainty

• Create moments that can't be replicated

• Tap into universal human experiences

"There's some sort of deeper universal things to tap into here." - @jasonfried

4) The power of limitations in software

• Time-based experiences (HQ Trivia). Underrated app.

• Visit-once websites

• Apps with "open hours"

• Creates scarcity & increases perceived value

5) Is the hobbyist ethos missing in modern software?

• Early internet had more quirky, fun projects

• Less focus on monetization, more on exploration

• Need for "weirder" apps and experiences

Challenge: How can we make the internet more weird?

6) Cozy software is the new software movement to track

• Make apps feel warm, comfortable

• Contrast to clinical, cold modern design

• Focus on user experience & delight

Goal: Create software people genuinely enjoy using
