Biz Idea: City Explorer App
You can create this app without coding skills. If you've put together the backend of a website before you should be able to create the app. There are mobile app generators for those with zero programming skills. Use the search engine to find the right code generation tools for you.
Once you find a code generator, break the app features into smaller part and then generate the code to make the code generation easy.
Locals, including businesses will have a form for them to give users information for whatever their expertise or taste in a category is. For example, I know all about the best museums in town, the pricing and how to get deals. The form should allow me to select Entertainment and then museums. Then the sub form is specific for museum-based information and pricing.
Another local example form would be for someone that might know all about country dance venues. They chose Entertainment then Dancing then Country Dance Venues and a form specific for that will come up and get filled out by that local.
You organize and then have a specific form for that type of information for the local to fill out. All will contain price ranges, noise levels, crowd levels, days of business, parking ease, public transport ease, route info and costs.
The Visitor is simply searching for information. They can fill out their default search form for things they'll do in town. When they enter the app, they can modify their preference data. They will have search buttons that will allow them to do a Default Search, Modified Search and Random Search.
The Default Search matches their default preferences. The Modified Search pops up a preference form that they can modify. This data will not be saved like their default data. The Random Search is the app choosing things at random for them to live a little outside of their comfort zone.
They have to include the price ranges and businesses could offer coupons. You can config the app to charge businesses a fee for their listings and to offer coupons. You may even want to offer location-based popup coupons. This means when a user has their app open and is within a certain distance from the business the coupon will pop up to let them know they are near a deal.
Biz Idea: Slide-in games
You have the top layer where the board users will play upon slide into. The next two layers beneath it contains different board game boards.
The final layer is the game pieces layer. The pieces slide into a tray. Each piece is designed to snap into the grove and slide along the grove. This final level is the storage level. You can have more than one tray. The level of game boards should determine the number of trays for pieces.
People will be able to buy slide-in board games and slide-in game pieces separately to add or replace games the starter slide-in game kit coms with.
You'd be able to have different games and even contest for users to create different games and game pieces.
The slide-in helps to not lose game pieces. Once the pieces are in the trays it'll take a lot of effort to remove them from the tray.
You'll need to do safety test. A well-designed slide in unit can have up to 4 different game board trays and trays for the game pieces on the final layer.
The game board should easily slide into place and lock. The pieces should easily slide in the groves to easily move about the board game.
It should be easy to clean and all moving pieces should slide in and out and about for years without friction or any other design problems.
Wood, plastic or combos can be used to build the slide-in game unit, board, and game pieces.
After you get a winning design, you can always enlarge for the industrial market such as restaurants, social clubs, bars. You can also shrink to travel size.
Once you have the winning design you should be able to market it for safety, no lease piece which can save user money in not having to buy replacement pieces.
Biz Idea: Simple Toothpaste Tube Squeezer
There are these keys that allow painters to squeeze all the paint from a tube. They are called paint tube keys. There is nothing wrong with taking that key, making it look pretty and fun and reselling it as a toothpaste tube squeezer. You'll have to have the manufacturers consent.
For toothpaste tube squeezers they will need to be colorful. You can add a clothed or knitted cap to the end to make turning softer and the key more sellable.
For kids tubes a fluffy cap that look like monsters, or their favorite characters can be made. You can even start on the cheap by knitting the caps yourself. Older kids would like music groups or sports logos. Adults would like sports logos and more mature cap themes. Girls would like glitter or bling caps. The caps can sell separately and in a set of at least 3 or 4 caps.
The buy in to create and manufacture the finished product is small since most of the infrastructure to do so already exists.
