[Niamh], I like the idea, it replicates the real world behaviour of people (ie. artists playing on the street in various locations in town and people giving tips). It'd be nice to have the same behaviour online. No matter on what platform or website a creator is, people can still leave a tip without effort.[Mindey], > PayPal is already providing the option for own websites/blogs to create such a button. User experience could be more effortless.. When it comes to donations, if I like something, whether it would be a charity cause or a tip that I want to leave for a creator, I don't want to close one window, go to the next, sign in, type in details,.. I just want to _give_. :) > currently, one working way for video creators to profit is to sell ads on YouTube channel. Adds are interrupting the single experience that viewers have when they consume art. It'd be nice to contribute to artists without friction. [Niamh][Cabria], :)) It'd be very helpful! Then, we can add all the ideas brainstormed between you, me and [Luke] and get them implemented! [Mindey], can you help? We need to allow users to add members to Ideas.[Cabria], :)) I should go through my notes and our IM chats, and add other ideas that we come up together![Cabria], [Luke], let's do this!Hey [Justin], what else do you think it's worth tracking to measure what people learn when they browse the web?[Mindey], > be more specific in the naming, because this 'Online Behaviour Tracker' is very general, could refer to much more than eye-tracking. Maybe 'Online Reading Time and Topic Tracker'. -- this is a project then, not an idea anymore. no?Hey [Yuri-B], good to see you here! :) I see the point of your idea - we acquire knowledge through people. Fostering local communities is important, although enabling people to interact with global communities and acquire different kind of thinking is even more important. I was just reading an [article on personal networks](https://medium.com/@vernonluke/how-your-network-could-be-killing-your-career-prospects-5817b7d650a4 "https://medium.com/@vernonluke/how-your-network-could-be-killing-your-career-prospects-5817b7d650a4") today.[iulia-link], you might like this idea! It relates to the problem you posted on how to enable people to earn more money. :)[Cabria], _> Lonely Planet for business. Really easy to understand / follow (like the 'For Dummies' books), easy to navigate and easy to read. _ - Nice idea. It'd be very handy tool even for school projects. More students start to think about entrepreneurship as a career path, the problem is -- _where do I start_? A specific project for this idea could be a website that explains the best practices of how to set up an online business step by step?The book could be similar to [_"What Do People Do All Day?"_](http://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Do-People-All-Day/dp/0007353693 "http://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Do-People-All-Day/dp/0007353693") written by Richard Scarry.[Mindey], okay, got it! An Idea becomes a plan when it has timeline, people, tools, etc. Thanks![Mindey], you're right! I added a different problem that relates to this idea more. What's more important than teaching people how to make money is teaching people critical thinking and fostering motivation. We should translate an idea you talk about on your blog and share it here. I really like the motivation part.> and... would this idea solve the problem completely? An idea that qualifies for solution should solve the problem completely, with high probability of success. Maybe this should be a rule on our idea posting? [Mindey], Perhaps. At the moment it's not entirely clear how to describe an idea. We should think about what guidance will help users (myself included) understand. (We have a[ task](https://infty.xyz/task/89/detail/ "https://infty.xyz/task/89/detail/") for this). Also, we need a way of letting any user to flag content if an idea doesn't provide a solution to a problem, and encourage an idea owner to edit a problem or rewrite an idea. We have a [task](https://infty.xyz/task/94/detail/ "https://infty.xyz/task/94/detail/") for this as well. Although, the meaning of _solution_ is not the same as of _idea_. How do people see both terms?[Mindey], I'm not sure about something in terms of idea/solution stage. What's the **purpose** of the system? _User flows:_ When people chat, what people can/should do next? Do people chat until they find the perfect solution to a problem or, chat until someone gets an idea, and then jumps into tasks and tries to implement it? For example, we had a chat with z about the problem "[Enabling People to Earn More Money](https://infty.xyz/goal/5/detail/#1443891427 "https://infty.xyz/goal/5/detail/#1443891427")". We discovered that the root problem is a lack of the role models. So, I came up with an idea of a book. If this idea stays in the comments I and everyone will forget it. I'd like to save it in some ways and try to implement it with people, and see if it makes an impact towards the problem (not necessarily solves the whole problem)._> it's for people who are actually setting up real businesses and need to find information quickly, easily and in a manner that makes it easy to understand_ [Cabria], ah, got it! Yes, the first thing I had in mind was about how to set a startup business which is focused on a web-based product. That's a different problem and idea indeed. I agree, there's a massive pain point around understanding how to register a company, write a biz plan, find an accountant, register for taxes, get some funding, and other things that anyone who's turning their *project* into an actual company [in any country], needs to do!_> Maybe we could make tags like [idea-here] for indexing little ideas. _ [Mindey], good idea. In situations when we start with one problem and through a conversation we realise that the problem is not the route problem, it'd be nice to have an option to click a button and create a _sub-problem_. Same for ideas. When one problem/idea sparks sub-problems and ideas, what functionality do we need to allow users to organise them? When we have conversations which are off-topic to a particular page (just like our chat about features is off topic to an idea of a book), do we need functionality to allow users to move off-topic conversations to a different page? Which page?[Cabria], :) When I was going through that stuff myself, it was a pain! And usually these topics (company registration and taxes, etc.) are not covered at startup accelerators. Everyone and anyone needs more clarity on that.> good idea, which certainly is doable. So many statisticians, computer scientists and data scientists working on computer vision. What you need, is a higher resolution cameras on computers, or existing solutions (tobii) to use your eyeballs as mouse. [Mindey], how about heatmaps, to get the data on how I interact with the page?[Mindey], okay, this makes sense! I see your point on the educational value. The purpose of the platform is problem solving indeed, rather than ideation. We should take time before posting problems and ideas then.[Yuri-B], I agree with an idea that the person's wealth depends on its network. These days we have meetup.com, forums and Facebook groups where people can meet. Isn't it enough to get people connecting locally?[Mindey], if we think about how people read online, we'll see that many of us highlight text while reading. My assumption is, when we highlight text, we reflect on what we are reading. I use various web clippers to save content for later (i.e [Evernote](http://evernote.com "http://evernote.com")). I also use [Rescuetime](http://Rescuetime.com "www.Rescuetime.com") to track my web browsing behaviour. Maybe there are simpler ways to solve this problem instead of tracking eye balls?Hey [Cabria], do you have any thoughts on how to ensure that such an EEG tracker provides accurate data on brain health?[Justin], you have Muse. What's your opinion on current EEG trackers?This book could have a mobile app with Augmented Reality functionality. Similar to [this](http://toyland.gizmodo.com/disney-has-invented-3d-coloring-books-1734309000 "http://toyland.gizmodo.com/disney-has-invented-3d-coloring-books-1734309000"). Or, connected Virtual Reality app, where people could actually _"experience"_ new professions.[paulmwatson], good idea. Who should determine the community guidelines though, a community leader or community itself? The deeper problem of why communities need code of conducts is a lack of empathy, understanding of communication among people and a lack of critical thinking skills. People acquire all of this.. by interacting with other people.[Mindey], what purpose would you use it for? there are various tools for social media analytics/social listening that allow to see feeds, searches by keywords from multiple accounts in one place. [https://hootsuite.com/](https://hootsuite.com/ "https://hootsuite.com/") is the most popular one.[Cabria], I liked this idea. It turns out I'm working on something similar but on a broader level not neurotopcics as I don't know anything about it.[colemai], I do agree that legislation is a problem when convincing retailers to donate food, although how to make it a scalable solution? _> An education team with a pro bono lawyer could probably convince some big food retailers to spend their social consciousness money on donating expiring perishable foods to local charities/homeless shelters etc. _ Thing is, that big retailers would be interested in providing their time to deal with lawyers if only they would see such act as a return not a cost. I wonder, how we can make it more convenient and less time consuming for retailers to donate food with less effort? _> Other problems are that this would only help food poverty in relatively well off countries. _ You might like an idea shared by [gmikhai] where he talks about [how to deal with hunger in developing countries](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-exclude-starvation-ever-george-mikhailovsky?published=t "https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-exclude-starvation-ever-george-mikhailovsky?published=t"). Quote: "On the other hand, restaurants, bistros, and other eateries throw out a lot of food waste. They could be relatively inexpensively disinfected, freeze dried, homogenized, and finally pressed into balls or briquettes. These balls shall be available for free near any restaurant, supermarket, and other public places, especially in poor countries." (see a picture in the article)You did not define what is Togetherism here.

[Mindey], yes! we get a lot of feedback these days, so worth starting to share ideas for product features and milestones here.[Cabria], _> information on setting up a business in Ireland - the types of business, how to incorporate, some information on tax and VAT and a bit of information on case studies, perhaps. _ This info would be very handy. Are you thinking of getting some information from citizens information website and LEOs, but providing it in a more understandable format? Finding info on tax and VAT is complicated. It'd be great to get more clarity on all that in one place. In terms of actual website building, I used Squarespace for my website (as I was bored with Wordpress). I got a domain from Godaddy.com. Or, we can invite some friends who can help out with [_Bootstrap_](http://getbootstrap.com/ "http://getbootstrap.com/").A business executive: "My true passion is food. I used to make shoes for vegans and vegetarians. I used to use plastic type of leather for shoe making. Now, no ones knows how to make shoes anymore!" "You know, our goal is to collect procedural knowledge on how things were made. Next time you want to open a shoe factory, you can do so, because you know how people did it in the past," I said.An accountant professional: "I have lots of problems. Can I try? Some for my business, some personal ones. My family member has a disability so we have to approach problems differently." "I agree, that's why conversation is important. We focus on comment based problem solving," I said.An accountant professional: "So, how does it work? You have a problem, then think about a solution, project, milestones and tasks, you say. With our business, the hardest thing is implementation." "I agree, what people usually lack is **resources** - human capital, financial capital or knowledge. People with skills, know-how or money. On a daily basis it can be hard to find the right people. Let's say I want to make education better, so I want to connect with teachers. How do I find them? I need to go to schools, look for online forums. It takes time to make friends. It's easier with our platform, you already have all the people, together, in one place. I don't need to look for people myself, **content** is what connects us. I don't need to look for teachers because teachers are there talking about problems they care about," I said.A technical executive: "You have a tool to solve problems... What problems?" "Any. Personal or global. Personal, let's say you want to quit your job and start your own business. You'll spend days, weeks, months, sometimes years **talking** to your friends and family **about your problem**, but quite often you won't do anything about it and stay where you are -- at the problem mode. The same applies for global problems. Let's say you are annoyed by seeing rubbish on the street. You keep complaining to your friends, but don't do anything to improve situation. With Infinity, you get a structure to move away from the problem and take action to get what you want," I said.[Mindey] sure, doGuys, I was thinking how to make it easier for people to share on infty. People have thoughtful discussions over email. We have time to think about what we want to say over email because we're not forced to respond just like we're over real-time chat. Why not make it easy to add such email conversations to infty by allowing people to cc ideas@infty.xyz ? This way people wouldn't need to leave a space where they have conversations but they could still **preserve the knowledge on infty, and share it**. ([x.ai](https://x.ai/ "https://x.ai/") works similarly, you just cc an AI) [Mindey] [aliev] [george]
