I think a lot of people could save a lot of money with a browser extension that just gives you a little bit of time to think between you put something in the cart of an online store and before you're able to click trough to purchase it.
Say you click Add to cart, and the Checkout button is locked by a 30 min countdown. Wouldn't that be enough for some compulsive shoppers to forget or realize this was a bad idea?
The world needs every bit of less overconsumption it can get.
Crazy idea for a browser extension: Every mention of a street name is detected and linked to that place in your map tool of choice. "street name x street name" gets detected and is linked to that intersection.
Would be gold for politicians and other people working on urbanization and regulations. And just engaged citizens reading news articles with no freaking map for some effing reason!
As we all know, and as @hankgreen says in his latest vlogbrothers video: It's often easier to help others than to help ourselves.
Two questions:
What does this say about human nature?
Could there be a market for some kind of platform that let's you get in touch with a neighbor for both of you to visit each other and help each other tidy up and clean in your apartments, garages, etc..? Could this help people get things done and be a bit less lonely?
