A digital photo service that can identify duplicate photos and lets the user delete duplicates easily.

I'd gladly hand over my wallet if http://SnapJoy.com had this feature.

Here's another app idea. Create a catalog of map data based on years and let a user see what their location looked like in years past. Users could see what stores used to be there, how fast their city has sprawled, and could show their kids what their house looked like before it became a strip mall.

Here's an app idea. Show notifications when the device is within a certain distance from the location of a past historical event. ...or past Crime ...or a message another app user has left.

Here's a Parse sample app that does something very similar: https://parse.com/anywall

I like this idea- it would be cool when exploring a new city if had a preset tour feature where it would guide you through these past historical events, crimes, etc. depending on which theme you chose.

This smells like an ARG. And even if it isn't, there are plenty of overlapping demographics who'd like it.

I can see all kinds of weird unintended uses for it, too. ("Alice <3 Bob" marked in random places.)

would be a cool bike or car app - your get a notice when you are near a hotspot for bike or auto accidents. Give the user a heads up. Possibly to scrape this data from county GIS sites or police maps.

The colorblind simulator only works if you have normal vision. Is there a color corrector simulator for certain types of colorblindness? e.g. Show colorblind people what the colors look like to the normal viewer.

How could you simulate red to show what it looks like to people unable to perceive red ?

Sounds absolutely impossible to me (having protanopia).

Haven't read up on it but maybe http://dankaminsky.com/2010/12/15/dankam/ does that.

I'm no expert and I've only really glanced at that, but doesn't look like it shows a colourblind person what colours look like to others, it just changes the colours of something to different colours that stand out better against each other.

For that matter, unless someone either goes from normal to colourblind, or colourblind to not, is it actually possible to ever do this? Assuming the transformation isn't possible... how do you describe "red" to someone who can't see "red"? Even if you find the exact colour that, for a colourblind person looks like "red", how do you know you've found it, how does the colourblind person know?

Speaking with Dan, he's indicated that a research organization is making heavy use of his app. Evidently they are close to trials on gene therapy.

I was just going to post something similar. It's jaw-dropping to see the kinds of retorts that kirillzubovsky is giving. Even if the original comments are snarky in their own right, to quip back with "Maybe you could get lost", and "A little jealous, perhaps?", is absolutely brand killing not to mention disrespectful. If I were a mobile developer I would not want to be associated with this startup in any capacity.

Ben, you're spot on. I shouldn't be responding like that.

As I explained to Nicole (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4262188), I saw the original comment as an offense on the quality of Scoutzie-listed designers and I take any such offense very personally. We spend a lot of time talking to the designers, getting to know them, looking to understand how they work and what they want to get out of their design careers. When I see a negative comment about the site or about our user base , I see it as a negative comment about each one of our users. It hurts me because I see these users as real people, not just user ids.

Now, I can see that 'mnicole' wasn't out to get us, and it was wrong of me to engage in a hostile manner myself.

Unfortunately, as one comments irritates your skin, it's really easy to quickly overreact with others. I will get better at this.

Lastly, thank you for giving the feedback.

I was pretty stoked to wake up to the jealousy comment this morning. "Why would we make a mobile site for a site about mobile?" got me good too.

What wonderful ways to respond to people you're trying to profit off of.

Yes. That seemed pretty deceptive to me too. Nowhere did I agree or appear to agree to signup for a listserv or newsletter. I probably would have, but the surprise email in my inbox makes me not trust this group now.

That was my first thought. I actually have a need to partner with a mobile developer on a project, but paying $100 for the chance to find someone who's personality, communication, experience, and rate are compatible is, well, Ummm...

Actually, you guys can contact them directly. You could, however, post a project on the private shared board, in case you want to expose it to more than just the person you are going to contact. This way, you get the benefit of talking to the person you want, as well as (maybe) hearing from others who might like to talk to you.

Sid's been really great to work with.

Thanks ben. Appreciate the plug!

PS: Worked with ben on http://www.garnishbar.com

Looks good and is a useful app I could see myself using. I created an account and attempted to add a pet (dog). I ran into my first hiccup when the form asked if my dog was small/medium/large, I assume my lab is a large breed, but adding weights as a guide text could have helped me come to a quicker decision.

Second roadblock came when I clicked the save button. I was given an error at the top of the page, but the page didn't scroll up so I didn't know the submission failed. Also the error message was generic and didn't give me an reason why there was an error. I assumed I didn't fill in a required field but opted to close the tab and write this comment instead of guessing.

Awesome and thanks! Right now only name and photo are required. Good feedback on the form though. I'll add it to my list.

I was just thinking the same thing.
