App that provides AI shortcut building blocks: Ask AI, Transcribe Audio, Generate Image
GPT siri via shortcuts app and agent loop

App monetization - free core, paid customization, sponsorship tiers — cross-app IAP idea: keep features free, sell customization (icons, themes) in $5/$ 100 tiers, top tier commissions a custom icon via a redeemable in-app token. Hibi-side specialization: Hibi Plus adds early access + a post-stamp purchase certificate (5/22).
Feediary
- lets you add x websites (with login data or even easier just sessions in general), which it then scrapes once a day to present a feed (one mixed and per website each); entries contain links to the original e.g. posts.
- Agent-loop variant: 💡 Daily feed summarizer agent — same problem, routed through Claude Code instead of a standalone app.
Licht
- app to show golden/blue hour (+ shadow map)
- also weatherkit integration
- also sunset index + predictions for the next days
💡 Weather app with better data
- iOS/macOS weather app with Google-tier weather data, Japan-aware, nice design

Finger tracking, hand opens up and shows new picture
Light Bender lens boutique — niche boutique in Osaka selling camera lenses + in-house filters (Lichtbrecher)
Prism Light App — app or design exploration based on prisms, light-bending, and refraction effects

🎮 Hitonami — Crowd Walking Game — endless runner through Japan’s crowds. Stations, shopping arcades, festivals, temple approaches. Dodge ojisan, weave past tourists, survive reroutes.

💡 Order and Chaos Story — Bottom-Up from Axioms — story built bottom-up from order/chaos axioms (à la Attack on Titan’s deep axioms); paired with the process refinement (collect axioms → derive moral dilemmas).
💡 AI Training Data Hunt — near-future setting where humans generate AI training data, and recruiters hunt rural areas for high-IQ individuals as model intelligence rises.
💡 Typhoon Cleanup Crew — thumbnail: after a typhoon, a recurring crew gathers to clean up the wind-scattered trash. The order/chaos pendulum shrunk into one Japan-everyday image.

Claude design system from Eagle references — use Eagle design references as input for Claude to generate a design system, then design a website from it

Paper-feel software inspired by Japanese paper culture — observation seed: Japan’s kami / 文房具 culture + Germany’s engineering precision form a duopoly in premium paper; idea is to translate that “high-quality paper feel” into software (calendar, note-taking apps).
Claude on Japanese-German paper culture and design properties — Claude’s reference response to the above: confirms the JP/DE duopoly, names France/Italy as the blind spot, lists products to study (Hobonichi Techo, Midori MD, Leuchtturm1917, Stalogy 365) and concrete design properties (weight, opacity, color warmth, ruling, tactile resistance) translatable to software.
Plotter and Swiss typography — addendum: Plotter (Designphil’s modular leather binder) and Swiss typography (Müller-Brockmann, grid-based International Style) as two more pointers to study.
Paper as an affordable luxury good — 5/19 follow-up: the why under the paper-culture pull — notebooks are uniquely accessible luxury (perfection-via-craft, not scarcity), and daily use makes quality compound. Reframes paper-feel software toward luxury-as-care, not luxury-as-paywall.
Paper-feel software micro-mechanics - drying, sound, aging, grids — 5/21 micro-mechanics layer: drying-time settle, page Foley, 経年変化 patina, grid layouts. The first concrete UX moves the thread proposes for Hibi / Zettel.

Agent-Native Software Architecture — no-code software pattern: orchestrator → sub-agents (classes) → skills (functions) → MCP (APIs); self-healing, terminal-first, context window as RAM
Kumo — agent-native cloud file storage; the storage-layer instance of the agent-native pattern (now in 🛠️ In progress)

Restaurant “For Two”, where guests have e.g. one of their hand tied to their partner - they have to eat with one hand each or help each other with the tied hands
