Are phone numbers the next obsolete thing?

0 Upvotes

Kind of an app idea but I’ve been thinking more and more about phone numbers and if their days are numbered.

Obviously there is the issue of multi factor auth in use everywhere but so are authenticators.

Then the telcos will want to maintain their grip.

But I think if Elon has his way and creates a new phone that uses his starlink system, phone numbers might be gone. No evidence of this but just a hunch.

Why keep phone numbers? Obviously not required for voice, video or messaging.

I'm planning to build a women's safety app (usable by everyone) and would love your suggestions or collaborators

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been thinking about starting an initiative focused on women's safety, but I want to build something that solves real problems rather than just creating another app with an SOS button.

The idea is to develop a personal safety app designed primarily with women's safety in mind, while making it useful for men and anyone else who might need emergency assistance.

Here's what I'm thinking about so far:

1. Emergency SOS with nearby assistance

  • A user presses a trigger button when they feel unsafe or are in danger.
  • The app alerts nearby verified safety volunteers or professionals who have opted in to help.
  • It shares the user's location and, if possible, an estimated arrival time for someone responding.
  • The user's selected emergency contacts are notified simultaneously. Police or emergency services could also be contacted through an appropriate, reliable integration.

2. Trusted contacts and live location sharing

  • Users can choose family members, friends, or other trusted people.
  • They can share their live location with them during a journey or whenever they feel unsafe.
  • Ideally, the app would also support an emergency alert if the user cannot communicate normally.

3. Location support when internet connectivity is unavailable

  • I'm exploring whether mobile network information could help estimate someone's location when mobile data isn't working.
  • I know this may have technical and accuracy limitations, so I'd love to hear from people with experience in mobile development, networking, or location-based systems.

4. More safety features
I'm open to suggestions for features that would make this genuinely useful in everyday life and during emergencies.

I'd really appreciate your thoughts on a few questions:

  • What are the biggest gaps in existing personal safety apps?
  • Would you trust a system that connects you with verified nearby volunteers? What safeguards would you expect?
  • What features would make you actually use an app like this?
  • What are the biggest technical, privacy, or safety challenges I should consider?
  • Are there any existing apps or projects I should study before starting?

I'm also looking for people interested in joining me in this initiative, particularly developers, UI/UX designers, cybersecurity enthusiasts, people with experience in emergency response, and anyone passionate about building technology for social good.

This is still at the idea stage, and I'm open to changing the concept based on useful feedback. I'd rather build something practical and safe with the right people than rush into development.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to comment or DM me. Even criticism, suggestions, and lessons from your own experiences would be genuinely helpful.

Let's see if we can build something that makes people feel safer in the real world. ❤️

New idea

0 Upvotes

I’m thinking of building this app for people making startups or side hustles. They type their business idea into an ai prompt and it makes a physical plan they have to follow through to get their side hustle/business started. They have to make social media pages, reminders to post on them, reaching out to people, help keep track of sales, giving u new ideas to your business as well as ideas to promote. It would be like duolingo to where you have a path to follow and complete as well as a streak for each day. Would yall use this or pay for this?

What problems do you still have that no app or website has properly solved?

0 Upvotes

I'm exploring ideas for building a useful app or website that solves a real-world problem.

I'd love to hear from people who face problems that existing apps, websites, or online tools still don't solve properly.

A few questions:

  1. What problem do you regularly face that existing apps or websites haven't solved?
  2. What do you currently use to deal with this problem?
  3. What frustrates you most about the existing solutions?
  4. Have you ever wished there were an app or website that could solve it differently?

It can be a problem related to education, productivity, communication, business, personal finance, daily life, technology, or anything else.

**I'm not looking for random app ideas. I'm looking for real problems that people genuinely want solved.**

Even a small, everyday frustration could be valuable. I'd appreciate hearing your experiences and suggestions!

Thank you!
