  1. A New Video Planner App for YouTubers

    A New Video Planner App for YouTubers

    ShowShaper is our side project...that has quickly become our main project. Here we look at the challenges of content planning for YouTube and why existing tools—like Google Docs, Notion, Evernote, and project management software—fall short for creators. Our idea is for a web app that cuts clutter and streamlines video planning and workflow, making content creation more efficient—which means more time to make better content. 00:12 A video planning app? 01:23 Content creators use 3 types of tools 02:29 YouTube content is its own thing 03:03 What does "integration" mean for video planning? 04:56 Three different types of YouTuber 08:06 What is the ShowShaper web app? 09:17 Scripts vs outlines vs winging it 10:21 What does ShowShaper do? 12:47 A "live script viewer" for on-air reference 14:48 Fragmented workflows create more work 16:16: Google Docs doesn't cut it 17:14 Feature ideas for more focused planning 19:52 Beta release out soon Launch offer: 50% off for life—jump on! https://showshaper.com/checkout/ Join our waitlist: https://showshaper.com/waitlist/ What does your workflow look like?

    Bunk History Tours, Hire-a-Creep, Zone Chat

    More once-in-a-lifetime startup opportunities where you definitely won't lose your money: mobile escape rooms—whether as in-home setups, multiplayer apps, or an escape room truck—a phone app that captures color, texture, and shape data for artists and designers, a "reverse food truck" to collect perishable goods for food banks, a tickle, back-scratch, and ASMR massage parlor (mobile?), an ASMR hotline for personalized relaxation experiences, a zone-centered chat app for urban needs, hire-a-creep as a gag gift, and fake history tours where none of it really happened.

  5. Party-in-a-Box, Plant Swapping, Rent-a-Streaker

    30.01.2025

    Party-in-a-Box, Plant Swapping, Rent-a-Streaker

    A mystery meal restaurant where the chef prepares surprise dishes. Mall transport to help shoppers...never mind. A plant swap service to trade houseplants with neighbors—or wall art. Rent-a-streaker, a gag service where someone is hired to streak at events like weddings or parties (probably not funerals). A daily motivational phone call, either AI-generated or human-led, that provides affirmations, reminders, and productivity tips. An alternate history content series exploring how different historical events could have played out. A party-in-a-box service that delivers and sets up a themed party. A year-round gift-giving group in the style of Secret Santa—just to put a little more positivity out into the world! Smoothie bars—no, not those smoothies: solid yoghurt bars with fruit...portable breakfast?

    AI: Task-to-Mission for Kids & Legacy HD Indexer

    We're doing "AI for everyday stuff": an AI Metadata Generator to handle the boring work of tagging stock media with keywords and descriptions. The Chore Negotiator, a friendly AI referee to fairly divide chores and keep the family motivated with fun incentives. For smarter arguments, the Debate Fast-Forwarder helps you skip the endless back-and-forth by cutting to the facts. Need to vent? The AI Echo Chamber listens patiently, validates your feelings, or gives a balanced perspective if you’re up for it. Lost files are no match for the Hard Drive Finder, which sorts through old drives to dig up what you need, fast. And for kids, the Task-to-Mission Generator turns household chores into epic quests with rewards, making cleaning up way more exciting. 00:31 - AI Metadata Automator 02:16 - AI Household Chore Referee 03:36 - AI Conversation/Debate Fast-Forwarder 05:14 - AI Echo Chamber (a.k.a. A Shoulder to Cry On) 08:06 - AI Legacy Hard Drive File Indexer 10:30 - AI Task-To-Mission Maker for Kids
