      “My app idea is that you can see where your girlfriend is at all times.”

      “So you’re telling me you want me to build an illegal stalking system? Have you really thought this through?”

      (Based on an actual conversation.)

      Clearly, if my years on the internet taught me anything, the killer app ID is an app that hack’s ex’s socials with bonus functionality for changing their school grades

        My app idea was location based reminders instead of time based.

        The next time you’re at the store you’ll get a notification with your notes.

        I think it’s a neat idea but i never have location on so 🤷‍♂️

          Apple Reminders does that.

          I think you can use existing software to do that. If your store has wifi (even if you can’t access it, I think), you can geofence an area and have some action (such as popping up a reminder app) trigger. I’ve not used software like this myself, but I remember people describing behavior like this at least on Android. If it might be useful to you, you should give it a search.

          I have an app that’s meant to schedule things, but I just use it as a checklist and preface each action with the location. So long as I check it (second home screen on my phone, so not a huge barrier), I’m usually good.

          Example

          • costco: chicken
          • costco: paper towels
          • Cainz: sunscreen
          • grocery: milk
          • grocery: eggs

      I can’t hack insta. But I can probably hack your ex. Spearfishing is largely just a matter of time.
