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

6 NewUser76312 1 7/5/2025, 3:31:25 PM

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.
