This is interesting and hope HNers will use it. Frankly I'm puzzled by attempts to do startups that are basically targeted at other geeks.

However, there's potential for a lot of "abuse". The top suggestion now is:

I wish there was an app where you could report a car whose alarm has been going on for hours, and car thieves will read it and steal the car

I hope you don't try to ban that sort of thing, though.



While the requested app isn't something you'd actually make, it's a useful request in that it's a real problem, and people voting it up indicates they want a solution to that problem.

The essential trait in a startup founder is the ability to find workable solutions to problems people want solved. This is the public doing their part, now founders have to do theirs.
