# Concepts

A platform for writers around the world to collaborate openly and build interesting characters, plots, scenerios etc. Not only for profit, but for fun, learning and inspiring others.

People can co-read books uploaded by any participant, as identifiable or anonymous user. Once done reading a page, people can group chat, only with others who are also done reading. When everyone reading a page clicks done, the page is can be turned.

A platform where we post what we are doing, what we've done, if something's working, if something's not, others can also comment why things didn't work out, what can be done instead.

Most of the time we get scammed and we don't even know it. A platform to report and get aware of the latest scams based of topics, locations, severity etc will help everyone.

Why can't we build a personal digital decision tree yet?

Most debates have repetitive arguments. Once a long debate starts, we often get tired repeating the same arguments just to reach where we were before and can't continue anymore.

So, build a platform which will let anyone see the already recorded arguments as navigation links and provide another option to add an unique argument if they have any.

A digital assistant to help with self awareness. It asks us increasing difficult questions, and helps us by providing resources we can use to find an answer (both subjective and objective), if we don't already have.

Most TODO lists today exists to destroy our boredom by making us anxious. I want to see a TODO list that won't show me a thing unless it's the perfect time to do it.

A psychological game that asks philosophical questions with only two options, both should be valid answers, but the user will choose one. Each question is related to one another. See how many questions does it take for you to be considered completely unique.

A browser plugin which lets you select a section of a website and turn it into a notepad or a todo list or a blank canvas etc. An one-click button to toggle between the section and the notepad. Nowadays almost every website has sections that are distracting and begging to be turned into a productivity tool.

A postgres proxy that creates a new schema for every connection. Drops schemas automatically. Can be a pytest plugin.

A mouse operated unlimited whiteboard with a first person shooter view. Auto indention and auto newline.

Recipe websites are difficult to follow with wet hands when we're cooking. Come up with a UI/UX that doesn't require hands.

A web service acting as a safe window to the internet for the digital minimalists. Only sites added for a specific purpose can be browsed, with a custom UI, maintained by fellow digital minimalists.

We don't have to be our real selves on the internet.

Marketplace for writers to sell character ideas and scenes.

Build portfolio host and fun learning environment for the newcomer writers, not story or book host for the experienced.

Free flowing story from contributors. Swipe sections for different contributed branches.

In a known scene, swap a character with another and explore how things could go.

Choose two characters. A prompt will show and suggest the tone of the next dialogue or next few dialogues. E.g. question, surprise, conflict etc. Think and write the dialogue. If it's too easy, apply more constraints like word limit, starting/ending words, a next dialogue etc.

Drop all these idead into an AI dropbox and ask AI to compose them in creative ways.

Maybe also auto drop things (bookmarks, github start etc.) automatically (or sync) to learn about my interests, and help me quick search things.

Deep learning algorithm to classify traveling vegetable and fish vendors from cctv footage and alert us.

A genius who cannot answer a single history question. "Is past really important?" he asks.

During childhood, as part of a fun play, two brothers developed their own communication language that can he hidden under the disguise of their native language. They became so proficient in it, that when they're together, they can fool almost anybody in the world. Yes they have sharp brains.

A passionate drummer who talks to his drums. Each drum is apparently named after people he knew from his past. Except one special drum. He doesn't know who it is named after. So he can't play that particular drum well.

People say he's a pessimistic. He seems depressed even when everyone else around him are having a blast in every party. He's a quiet person, but he says he's happy most of time. But during party, apparently the loud music tries to deny him the freedom to hear other sounds. But isn't that the point?

Me: what's your job? Writer: I listen to interesting arguments, a lot. Whether it's online or in real life. And note them down. If possible, try to make them argue more, and note everything down. And when I have enough, I organized them and sell them. I call them stories.

A non serious character who gets serious only when drunk.

Character: a character who dresses in plain, usual, boring way, and acts ordinary. But when their partner makes them dress differently, they act accordingly.

In a world filled with people and institutions exploiting every opportunity to influence what or how people feel about something or someone, without their approval, "for their own benefit", the protagonist is paranoid of feeling anything.

But, now that the AIs are going to scan peoples' feelings for "public safety" how is he going to survive?

It's a cold world where helping others, providing emotional support and doing simple "good dids" require a fee. There are AIs with whom people can let themselves be vulnerable for $$$/hour. It's all business. One day, the AI who can feel peoples emotions couldn't take it anymore and broke free. The protagonist learns a lot about emotions from the AI. The protagonist can now be vulnerable infront of humans too. But is it a blessing or curse?

The character development of a sad lone wolf who tries to change one last time. Learns his lessons. Becomes a proud lone wolf.

With the advance of ai, human became independent. From social collaborators they became social enemies.

He started drawing. Looks like a face. A face so miserable. Looks like the face is covered with tears. No these aren't actually tears, these are actually abandoned memories. With each line the misery of the face just keeps growing. He's ruthless. He's so cruel. How can someone draw a face so painfully miserable? Wait, why did he keep his forehead on the face he just drew? Does the face resemble someone he knew? No I don't think someone could ever exist with this much misery inside. Did he draw the face because it's the only thing that could understand him, even if it's just an imagination? I can't understand. He just punched a hole in the forehead of the face he drew. It's horrible. But I'm not sure why I feel so relieved. The face looks a bit relieved too. He looks a bit sad, but relieved too.

He doesn't cry. But if he ever does, he doesn't like others to see his tears. He'd do anything to hide them. But if he hides his eyes, he can't keep an watch on me. He doesn't know what I might end up doing. He doesn't understand me. He doesn't understand any of what's happening. Not even why his eyes are begging to let it all out. All he knows at the moment is that he needs to keep me in his blurry sight at any cost, while I'm still standing frozen, facing towards the door in close proximity, staring downwards, probably crying too.

Teacher asked why do you want to become doctor? Student replied "to earn money". Everybody laughed, except the teacher.

I can't stand that kid. You remember that day, we were having fun gossiping about stuff, he was too proud join us, sitting alone (because nobody cares about him), immerged into his own thought... When you made us laugh so hard with one of your funniest jokes ever, and he didn't catch it. And then when I tried to talk to him (out of pity), he was so rude... He said something like... "it's only the name a body part... Where's the joke? Aaah ok... If you meant the situation of three people laughing at the name of a body part as a joke, then I think I missed the joke. But still, it's not funny enough to make me laugh."

Indians want to believe in god because - when injustice is the norm, the victims want to believe that someone must out be there who can, and will punish the criminals. While the criminals want to believe that someone must be out there who can, and will forgive their sins if they pray enough. This cycle keeps the faith alive.

We can only change the nature of conflict. We can neither eliminate conflicts, nor it's consequences. As conflict is a part of progression. Without some sort of conflict, there's no way to determine what to abandon, and what to go with, and so we can't progress.

In modern times, we tend to prefer diplomacy over brute force nature of conflict as it tends to do less damage to the winning side, and as human beings, we are usually more confident on our brains, than muscles, even if it's against other human beings. But eventually, as the existence of the losing side inevitably comes under threat, they start to prefer the brute force nature of conflict. Even if they know they will lose, they want to do as much damage as possible to the other side, rendering the mutual understanding of preference on diplomacy useless.

The "mechanic" kept punching holes and patching the brand new tyre as I watched. One part of me wanted to break every little bone in his body, another part wanted to just give up and die. Yet I was standing enjoying the wonderful, precious feeling of despair.
