Everyone has “eh, someone should make an app for this” moments. Tinker Tarik is where those moments get written down, voted on, sharpened by other people and, if they are good enough, built in public.
Every idea is a neuron
Open the Idea brain and you will see every idea as a glowing neuron, grouped into six lobes: Food & F&B, Family & home, Kids & learning, Fitness & health, Shops & work, and Play & community. Bigger neurons have more votes. Neurons that glow and pulse are being built right now.
Three ways to make an idea fire
- Vote for it. Votes decide what gets built first.
- Add a twist: a feature, a "who would use this", a "watch out for this", or "I can help".
- Try the prototype, if it has one, and tell us what is missing.
From spark to shipped
Ideas move through four stages: Fresh, Brewing (being researched and sketched), Pulling (being built) and Served (launched). Like teh tarik, the good ones get pulled back and forth a few times before they are smooth.
Stuck for ideas? Spin the Spark generator under the brain. It mixes who needs something, what they need and how it could work. Most combinations are silly. Some are not.
