This is a place for ideas. Most will be ideas for new products. Perhaps they already exist, but I have not seen them. Perhaps people will take these ideas and use them for personal gain. That is fine with me. Other ideas may include topics for research projects that would be of interest to me. If you have ideas you would like to share with the world, let me know and I will be happy to post them here also.

Crowdsourced Bedtime Story

Problem

Bedtime stories are boring and can get pretty stale after you have read them a few times.


Solution

CrowdStory comes with 10 stories, and is updated every day with new stories. The main characters in the story are:

  • Bill, an 11-year old boy
  • Nancy, his 7-year old sister
  • Jeb, their dog
  • Betty, their grandmother
  • Uncle Henry

The beauty of CrowdStory is that anyone who has the app or book can submit stories. Each story is a single adventure involving the standard characters, and must be between 100 and 999 words. Stories are ranked with a simple thumbs up/down after they are read by any other owner. Every day, you read the highest rated story that you haven't read yet. A fresh story every day - ranked highest by fellow readers!

Top stories are moderated daily by the CrowdStory team to make sure they are appropriate for a young audience.

CrowdStory can be purchased as an app for Android/iOS or a stand-alone handheld device.
