Here’s a simple one: a social media for people, one that doesn’t analyse, sell, or train on my data, and a one that people use as a social media—with their own name (remember when facebook required academic login?).

BeReal was close, it was unique, caught up with hype but it suffered from incompetent management (it was buggy as hell), and later sold out for data scraps.

I wish an already popular actual social media site existed.

I like this idea. What would be the business model? That's the hard part. This is the part companies can't figure out and they either sell out to investors or turn to ads :(

Nice thought, to be honest. Any app or website should make everything easy for users, whether it’s a school band equipment site or any other e-commerce platform. Ultimately, it depends on what you are offering to your users. Do you have anything specific in mind?

I am thinking like you as well. To make things easy for the end users. I usually like to do simple applications that people already use. Like simple invoicing, email marketing, forms, CRM, etc. They are easy to work with and easy to sell as well because people understand the product/service right away.
