Need an idea? Let me give you one: giveneed.com

I had this idea for a web site, and even checked the domain, it's still available!:

Give Need -- giveneed.com

Here's a mockup of the minimum viable product:

i can give... i need... simple website

I guess the idea is, anyone can give and anyone can need. Spam and vulgarity gets flagged and removed quickly. Givers and Needers build reputation by being reliable and so on. Geo-location is important.

I don't have the time, but If you want to do this, go ahead.

Here's the html for the mvp mockup.

I was wildly enthusiastic about the idea for juuuuust long enough to create the mockup using zen-coding (which I recently re-discovered) and where i wrote most of the mockup just by typing:

html>body>table>tr>td*2>input+ul>li*3

Like I said. If you want the idea, it's yours. I'm still busy building All These Other Empires.

 

My book "Choose Your First Product" is available now.

It gives you 4 easy steps to find and validate a humble product idea.

Sounds like a nicer version of freecycle.org

I've had this idea for a while, to exchange all kinds of stuff, instead of money
