ideas-for-projects-people-would-use
Every time I have an idea, I write it down. These are a collection of my top software ideas -- problems I think enough people have that don't have solutions. I expect you can reach a decent userbase if marketed correctly, as I am surely not the only one with these problems.

- @smsunarto - satisfaction, not the grant -- the money is mostly just so it can continue to exist :). I will likely fund any good-faith implementation. Reach out to [me](https://twitter.com/yush_g) if you're interested in helping sponsor bounties as well!

Functional Encryption-based Witness Encrypted Tinder
- new construction - succinct one](https://eprint.iacr.org/2021/1423.pdf), and then build a proof of concept Tinder where everyone selects 5 people they want to match with, and are only matched if people select each other. First, everyone commits to, say, 5 people they are most interested in. Those 5 people should get only notified if they also commit to that person as one of their chosen 5 as well. So, after everyone commits, those commitments are used in the FC-WE scheme that everyone then runs, to publish a message only to their 5 folks only if they also had valid commitments (i.e. with them in it, while keeping it anonymous, which may not be possible with groth16). Finally, in the reveal stage, everyone attempts to read every message and can only end up reading the ones that work for them. You can do this with a pairwise Socialist Millionaire or Yao’s Garbled Circuits, but this requires more back and forth stages.</br>

- ATRescue + Flare0n's script from 2014 - By-0/313bf6ab375e4f3112adf41ef8c15d5f) to add a small delay after each link to avoid being ratelimited. The [version deployed to the Chrome store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autosave-to-wayback-machi/defmcmdgnplidnoilmeleeglnmjkalnk) doesn't have enough customizability (i.e. if you want to, say, avoid all Google drive links or avoid ratelimits), so I recommend the Tampermonkey script instead. My 'User Excludes' list includes \*google.com\* and \*gmail.com\* but for some reason Google Chrome keeps thinking I'm getting hacked (on my calendar I think?) so evidently better filtering needs to be done here. Maybe instead of just blocking the original host, also block all links out from safe hosts? Anyways if anyone can correctly diagnose and fork this code to fix this Google banning issue, I'll still award a half bounty.

- existing beta which doesn't seem likely to rollout soon - scrolling Khan Academy comments board. Would likely be a Chrome extension. Ideally, could also show such comments automatically on any embedded YouTube video as well. If someone using the extension likes or responds, should just respond from their logged in YouTube account.

- the Missing Semester website - in, where every user can sign in to get some perk (say pset answers) -- in exchange, we can get data on which courses people study, and if the materials for a course are sufficient or need improvement. Experiment with things like forums like Khan Academy for questions on any video, easy course feedback, and PRs on GitHub for each class. Also, it should be easy to find others to self-study a class with. Users could have permissions like course admin, course teacher, TA, and contributor. For example, a contributor can upload a document they worked on, and a TA can edit the class page to include it. This can streamline contributions, so class webpages can just be approved OCW staff, and instead updated by contributors.
