    Well, I’ve had tons of strange ideas haha. Some of them completely not viable or too futuristic. - AI copilot for your life: glasses with AR tech that can highlight the sidewalk to walk on from point a to b or show where to hit a pool ball - Revolutionize college club management with an app to sponsor events on campus - App to figure out what to eat at restaurants

    An open-source git replacement for non-programmers and novice programmers. It's a common struggle-many programmers find themselves grappling with git, often limited to basic commands like git add .; git commit -m 'msg'; git push origin branch; git pull origin branch; etc. The complexity of git, originally designed for the most advanced programmers like Linux kernel developers, poses a significant challenge for non-programmers and novice programmers. Then you add a ton of UI designers who have to work with programmers, and they are even worse at managing git repos. If I had 2 FTE resources available for 2 years, I would create a new git called "Git for Mere Mortals" and make it simple to use for entry-level programmers and non-programmers so that the core git functionality is available without the drama of git blame and git reset HARD, which many of my senior staff programmers love to chew on when grilling newbies. Git for Mere Mortals - 2 FTE x 2 years @ open source My crazy idea number 3.14
