r/AppIdeas

Been thinking about what’s actually broken with dating apps and I keep coming back to the same thing – there’s no intent. You swipe on someone’s face, match, and then nobody knows what the other person actually wants to do. So it goes nowhere.

What if the whole app was flipped? Instead of swiping first, you post a date idea before you can browse. Pick the type of date – coffee, dinner, drinks, whatever – and a specific local spot you’d actually want to go to. That’s your listing. People only see you if you’ve posted one.

Then instead of matching on looks first, you’re matched with people who posted a similar date idea. Someone who wants to go to a wine bar sees other people who also want to go to a wine bar. The photo and bio are still there but they’re secondary to the actual intent.

To stay in the listing you have to come back every two weeks and refresh your availability – mark which days you’re actually free. If you don’t refresh, you drop off. No ghost profiles, no accounts that haven’t logged in since 2022.

Would anyone actually use this or am I missing something obvious?

I’m tired of weather apps that try to be everything for everyone, resulting in a cluttered mess of ads and useless data.

I have this idea for a Minimalist Modular Weather App. The core experience is just the basics (Temp, Rain, 7-day forecast) with a clean UI. But, you can "snap-in" specific modules based on what you actually do:

The Surf Module: Swell height, period, and tide charts.

The Fishing Module: Barometric pressure trends and solunar data.

The Solar Module: Real-time UV index and cloud opacity for PV panel efficiency.

The Rule: If you don’t toggle the module, it’s like it doesn't exist. No bloat.

The goal: One app that stays simple for daily use, but becomes a professional tool when you’re heading to the beach, the lake, or checking your solar grid.

What do you think? 1. Would you prefer this over having 3 different specialized apps?

2. If you have a specific hobby (sailing, hiking, etc.), what is the ONE weather data point you can never find easily?

I'm looking for feedback before starting the dev process. Thanks!
