Startup ideasđź’ˇ: Cloud video transformation

 Startup ideasđź’ˇ Cloud video transformation Many companies build their own solutuions to work with videos. For instance, encoding, decoding, cutting, making previews and so on. For a company which goal isn't providing such functionality, it's resource consuming to make its own solutions to work with video. The idea is to provide video transformations functionality as API in a cloud. Thus, I can easily, for example, cut a video file, then reduce its size in one or two API calls instead of spending a huge amount of time implementing this myself. Monetization: users pay for an API call. Or tiers for a specific amount of calls per day, week, or month.

Startup ideasđź’ˇ: Replacing faces service

 Startup ideasđź’ˇ Replacing faces service My friend makes videos where he substitutes people's faces. He tried a few paid services, but there are problems: the video quality is low, the faces aren't replaced right. So, the main issues are the quality of the video and the substitution. We might build a service that provides a better video quality which means higher processing time on a server. To leverage this issue, we could provide custom plans where users would choose video quality. For example, 720p is priced more than 480p. Notice that it's hard to render such videos and probably you'll need performant GPUs for cloud hosting. The second issue is the quality of the face substitution. To handle this we could use custom parameters provided to end-users but simplified to their understanding. So the service can be used by not only programmers, video professionals, or deep learning engineers. Our target is regular people that aren't familiar with underhood face replace...

Startup ideasđź’ˇ: Website performance over time

 Startup ideasđź’ˇ] đź’ˇIdea: Website performance over time An app that allows you to track website performance, like web.dev/measure, but also tracks the scores over time. Imagine you have a website and you want to know its performance with every update you release. Or, the programmers you hire. Today you got 81% of the performance score, but yesterday it was 84%, so the update broke something. Maybe you added a new image to your landing page but forgot that it's 135% bigger than the previous one, so the overall loading time of your website increased. There is Lighthouse that you can integrate into a deployment flow. But it takes time, plus you need to have the deployment flow. What if you deploy your website manually? Or, you don't have the skills or time to make the integration? The app allows you to monitor your(or your competitors') websites on the performance score, isn't that great? Why does it matter at all, website performance and why track it? The first thing to w...

đź’ˇStartup Idea: Reading club

 Startup ideasđź’ˇ đź’ˇIdea: Reading club A social network of people who read books. The website allows you to: - track your in-progress or finished books; - follow other people, get notified when they start/finish reading a book; - write publications about a book: summaries, notes, opinions; - like, comment on other's posts about some book. For instance, bookmark someone's notes on a book; The website may also have a feature to recall you about books you've finished reading: it shows you your key takeaways(if you don't have these, it suggests writing them), or someone's notes on the boo k. It serves as a reminder to not forget what you read.

đź’ˇStartup Idea: Telegram channel mirror

 Startup ideas đź’ˇIdea: Telegram channel mirror A website where you can add a Telegram channel, and there will be a page created for it. With all the channel's posts. Why? Many channels authors struggle with having their content publicly available for search engines(posts in channels aren't searchable on web). And therefore, for a much bigger audience. Channel's content becomes searchable in Google. Telegram search doesn't work well for this purpose. I added this channel to the Telegram catalogs with channels and groups, they give me the biggest percentage of all subscribers. But it's not convenient for me because people can find the channel if they google specifically for the "startup ideas telegram channel". With the solution, I might optimize a web page for my channel with SEO, plus sharing links would be better - people don't need to have Telegram to read my publications.
