1/ There shd be a way to text a person a todo list via IM. Would make grocery shopping easier for me+wife. Wld be gratifying. Cc: @jiggityk
2/ there should also be a way to make lunch + dinner plans with someone via IM. Not a separate app- within the IM itself. "/dinner subway?"
3/ for example typing "/todo 1. Pasta 2. Beer 3. Dishwashing Sponge", etc into WhatsApp or Telegram equivalent
4/ should be able to make appointments w/ someone while texting, in the IM itself. "/schedule coffee Jan 16 4pm". Other person clicks, "ok"
5/ hell, when you type /schedule it should pop up a calendar.
6/ which should sync with Google calendar or whatever you use. And it should alert both of you in your IM window as it gets closer
7/ I think person-first scheduling makes more sense than calendar-first scheduling. We're people, not spreadsheets
7/ there should be an opt in system that reminds me + old friends when we haven't met or chatted in a while. Tech should enable social.
8/ there would some funny/odd/interesting ramifications and outcomes. But I think net good > net bad. &we dealt with FB/Twitter etc anyway
8/ old friends should know when other old friends are lonely, weary, scared. This could literally save lives.
9/ YO <I need someone to talk to me>. I imagine eventually this could/might get triggered by brain states, if we choose
10/ the reason the status quo isn't good enough, imho, is that we currently conflates on-stage identity performance and off-stage needs
11/ onstage, everybody's lives look amazing. Off-stage, people are hurting. More than you can imagine. We ought to fix that IMHO
