What are you obsessed about?

I am working on a native macOS app named Planet to let users publish their websites to IPFS + ENS. Every critical step in publishing and following content updates in the app is not controlled by a single corporation. The content is on a P2P network: IPFS. The domain is on a P2P network, too: ENS on Ethereum. Thus it is a local-first, fully decentralized model. Here is the blog of the app, built with Planet: https://planetable.eth.limo/ Last year, when I was starting this project, I wrote down the idea here: https://pitch.com/presentations/...

Recommender Systems, counteracting bias and making them generally more fair but specifically how they will evolve with the acceleration of web3 and the creator economy.

Obsessing about Personal security lately and thinking that the vast majority of internet users don't know even the basics of protecting themselves online. Technology came so far ahead in how many things you can do with a few clicks, but people still don't understand basic things like a fake/spam email.

That would have to be solving the scandal of how songwriters are paid by the music business - trust me slavery is alive and well in the music business

DALL-E 2 and AI generated images. This is mind blowing technology and it’s only getting better. I don’t think it’s crazy to think in 15-20 years you could have it generate a completely original sitcom from a text prompt. “An episode of Seinfeld where Jerry is losing gigs to a robot comedian”.

I spend a lot of time thinking about how AI datasets can become agents of healing. I want to create a kiosk (or two or a dozen) that will listen to stories about medicinal plants. Why? Where is the knowledge going when pharmaceuticals replace rather than augment these healing plants?

I'm obsessed with translating inspirational, fluffy talk into actionable steps. Kind of like if Shia Labeouf wrote TL;DR book summaries. There's so much information available to us now. The problem isn't gathering enough knowledge or wisdom, it's how you apply it. https://todotemplates.com

We see a big trend of remote workers watching summaries of meetings later, rather than attending meetings live, and saving 1-2 hours a day. Our video conferencing and meeting tool makes that easy, supporting sync and async meetings, with automatically generated summaries 10% of the meeting duration. AI measures everyone's engagement in real-time (body-language, gestures, emotions, spoken words, app activity etc.) and highlights the moments that participants were most engaged. Replay, highlights, transcript, notes, action items are all stored in the cloud default private, searchable and shareable - making meeting information useful. If you want to choose which meetings you attend live, and which you flip around to work for you, check it out https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Obsessing about caregiving and also military transitions and fintech services….

Open source intelligence: https://www.bellingcat.com/resou... There’s a need for new, modern tools. And probably a chance to grow the market by 100x.

Optimizing landing pages to get more service based bookings. We are obsessed since I see so many people creating websites that visitors don't have the patience to go through. We created Book Like A Boss (https://booklikeaboss.com) to save your customers time and to give them just the info they need to focus them on booking you. No ones does it like us and our millions of bookings that our 60,000+ users have received is proof what we do works. We are constantly optimizing our software for this one purpose. To make you more money!

Hi Ryan, I have several projects underway, most of them are around the reuse of second hand items, recycling, etc... It's definitely not a new trend, but I think there are a lot of new business ideas that can exist in this area. People are ready now to rent rather than buy, to rent other people's accommodation for their vacations, and also to buy second hand, or recycled products. Ownership at any price no longer seems to be the exclusive concept for a part of the population (especially young people).

Memberships and subscriptions as a constantly growing and expanding business model (not only in the tech world). The Membership Economy model works for both organizations and individuals. Executives and investors see that the model succeeds because it reduces uncertainty in their revenue. When done correctly, membership appeals to the members, too, because membership provides recognition, stability, and convenience while connecting people to one another.

I am excited at the future of PropTech where the buildings—homes and offices and commercial property are designed for data-informed people—people as individuals and as communities. A lot of work is happening in Europe in this category—I guess *synthesis* is the foundation for civic design and proptech.

Code selling https://git.market is coming soon, better be on the wait list!

Kind of obsessed with this new Jelly Donut flavor ice cream by Jeni’s. Oh, and learning every FCPX shortcut my brain can retain.

Zero-Knowledge Proof platforms like https://www.risczero.com

AgeTech ... Because it's the biggest market you don't know about, and as demographics quickly change it's going to command attention.

We seem to be in a bit of crypto winter, but I'm still obsessed with NFTs and their potential to transform ownership in the digital world. Also with Apple's AR glasses rumored to drop next year, been trying to learn everything I can about the space, from how to create 3D objects, recording 3D video, and brainstorming what a digital layer to the physical world will look like.

Waste streams. More specifically envisioning a world without waste (wwow). It will require a sea change in how we think of the products we consume, but I see more and more people tapping into the concept of "circularity" in commerce. It's grown in recent months and I see that trend continuing.
