Brainstorming Decentralized Apps. Solving Real World Problems.

[Fog Fence]

Decentralised Apps for Social Change

I can't code, but I have some half decent ideas for apps I'd like to see. I can identify the problem, write an idea for a GUI, and help with development.

I'm interested in solving issues like where to buy low cost water filters, solar dehydrating food tutorials. Or maybe a "craigslist for basic needs technology". Moving money without tariffs, decentralized governance, meeting other forward-thinking people, bringing crypto to non tech users, rapid file sharing etc.

If you have any ideas for apps. using any platform you like, please stick them here.






Translation

If an app is small and intuitive, I can help translate it to Indonesian, Spanish and Mandarin. That's 2 billion ppl in up and coming markets. I have a fair idea how to localize.

I figure the future is decentralized.

Ideas from an Apple Coder:

In respect of Dapps I am interested and started to explore a bit in a DNA analysis Daap https://github.com/CytoComp/DNA-analysis---ethereum---Dapp and to build a decentralized company https://github.com/CytoComp/decentralized-company-ethereum-Dapp I shared some thoughts in the Project part of this forum.

Decentralized companies sound awesome. Ebay went a long way towards decentralization but we can go further. Any type of decentralized selling is good for the free-market. I'm most interested in grabbing the 'basic needs' niche.




Basic Needs Supermarket or Online Store.

A (scrappy) essay about an ebay, craigslist or physical store focused solely on human basics.

Simple Proposal to Improve Preventative Healthcare Knowledge Using Wikis

2-300 hours crowdresearch on a wiki could make an invaluable repository of information.

great ideas - hoping a lot of people can find some big problems we need to solve - looking forward to learn about and get some new project ideas - your offer to translate is awesome - I definitely will need this some day as localization of an app is important

Hey Gerd,

I have a bit of free time this week. Might try and do something. 

- Do you know an online App front end designer that I could use to make jpg mock-ups of an interface? Just a simple one that a non-techie can use.

- I couldn't open that video. My Ipad's coming in 2 weeks. This template looks good:

If you are right about the front end being a large part of the process, people should be able to see what the app does from the jpg.

Cheers!
