Some of those are collected from personal notes; Others might be unique per this article. Anyone is free to take those ideas; Attributions are welcome.
Entertainment
- (2023) (Experience) The iPad Experience: Dark room LiDAR, Aquarium, mystical jungle, haunted house treasure hunt.
- (2023) (Virtual Tour Service) (Empty Industry Room) Virtual AR/VR Tour: Just need a large walkable space - but Is this kind of pixel streaming better than VR?
- (2023) (Virtual Tour Service) Basically you pay money and let others travel for you. There are two forms: 1-1 travel where you can dictate and save yourself the travel to fly; Virtual Tour, but 给钱，让人去旅游。That’s the fun.
Games
- MOSFET:SETI: For poor kinds like me who can’t afford the space and money for electronics studies and when university education is kind of shitty and absolutely inadequate.
- RoboGo: Test the limit of modern real-time combat.
- Dream of Red Chamber (a re-interpretation) (not an original recreation of plots): 红楼梦Gal game攻略妹妹 (idea from) Mentioned a few times by Ashley, and I think it’s a cool idea. As a simple starter, it could be a 2D visual novel-like, or even a traditional non-novel hentai 恋爱 game.
Productivity
- (2023) Markdown should really support: 1) Pop-up/Embedded multi-line payloads, 2) Images, and multimedia contents. This is for self-contained management.
- (2023) GitHub Pages needs better ways to managem multi-media, e.g. self-hosted images.
Industries
Programs
Hardware
- (2023) Recorder with basic editing and on-demand usage functionalities: One will be surprised how barren this market (in terms of supply?) is, and existing mobile apps just doesn’t justify the needs. A proper recorder should be able to: 1) Run on demand, 2) Allow insertion, 3) Allow deletion. And ideally those are achieved with physical buttons. I don’t see the need for wifi support, but being able to write directly to SD cards is a must.
- (2022, 2023) Precise Head Position Tracking for AR: May use base stations.
Non-Centralized Applications
- Ethereum Lottery: Real-world lotteries are not trustworthy. Programmed in Solidity, participants are guaranteed a transparent process. No one is there to take our winning money as tax. Idea courtesy of Shawn Li.
- Ethereum Central Ledger: When implemented, it can serve as a fund for apps like SeekingMate.
YouTube Video Production Series
(Below is from laptop MISSION PHEONIX, we likely forget to commit from PC PROMISE)
- Emily & James
- Studying Unreal Engine Source Code
- Studying PyTorch Source Code: Always wanted to write deep learning, also review math.
Online Services
- (2021/2022) iAvatar: Fashion, and virtual character and having luxury presentation. Partly inspired by Mopcat/catface or whatever UofT makeup idea by signal and processing professor.
- (2023) Anonymous Free Social Online Surveys (with demographical identification information upon registration) for social studies, personal FAQ, and market research. The website should be something like Stackoverflows and be easily accessible and free-to-use, and offers among other things most importantly: registration and personal social identity information editing, survey publication and editing, interest editing, and participated surveys page. A person can see survey results after participation. Any new survey should ideally do a search to avoid repeating the same kind of questions. Each survey is versioned and new edits must record new polls and cannot directly inherit older polls. No comments shall be provided, but survey publisher can describe survey goals and purpose.
Solution
- (2022) (Business Automation) Needs a visual-driven node-based process automation framework. Kind of WWF. Partially implemented in Parcel and https://charles-zhang.itch.io/expressoExpresso, also as a core concept in dbt. Pending a dedicated article on this concept. Alternative workflow uses Python/Jupyter Notebook, or Pure.
- (2022) (Business Analytics) Needs a better programmable business analytics platform, ideally incorporating dbt like processing workflow and as one-stop ETL/ELT solution, as an alternative to Grafana. PowerBI generally is the best but there are lots of issue with its programmability, lack of open-source nature, and very troublesome GUI (too many clicks).
- (2023) On the problem of mating: Github
Personal Business Endavours
Personal because it’s personal and only I can do it.
- (Magazine) The Project Nine Magazine (Entertainment Industry): Magazine with a vision.
- (Technology) Dreamscape (Technology Industry): Dreamscape with a vision.

Had this idea for a while. Basically it’s either a node-graph or something like Draw.IO, but the organization scheme is that you can keep “drill-down” and go deeper. Will be immensely powerful, no idea why it’s not already done. A clean interface is also the key. Parcel kind of was moving in that direction but I never got chance to complete it.
