I was really bored 2 days back and ended up creating this.

Out of curiosity, it has 10,000 votes and 100 ideas and was created 2 days ago, which is impressive!

Are those real users? Or some bootstrapped content?

Love it.

If you open up an API for idea submission, I can send you a FIREHOSE of dumbass ideas.

elysionmind•21m ago

It does look and read like AI-generated ideas. Did you include any of your own ideas?

I have been monitoring google analytics for past 6 hrs lol

Cool! Funnily enough, most that I got exist as services already to some extent.

Meetings about too many meetings (process/organizational consultants), breakfast cereal advisor ("nutritionists"), etc.
