Share your ideas that never made it to production

Got any ideas buried in your git history that never made it to production?

Give it a chance in the spotlight; Throw it in a codepen or just talk about it in the comments below!


Here's my contribution:

Prior to the launch of augmented-ui v1.0.0 in 2019, early builds of the website's introductory animation also featured this 3D CSS animation behind it. The background animation was removed for performance reasons but still exists in the commit history. 💜

Hopefully this codepen helps give life to the idea that couldn't make it to production ~

My idea that hasn't made it to production is an Ultimate Emulator. This Emulator would have simulated environments for windows 3.1, Windows 95, Android, Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, and Sega systems. Then I realized the potential legal issues and abandoned it.

Try to build chrome extension to recommend an answer when doing online exam, at least I already know to modify DOM from an extension and build my flask API, but I don't really understand to build the prediction/machine learning part 🤔 and now they used something like exam browser so the extension would be disabled 🤣 and I realize there is no need "prediction/machine learning" things to do that, you can just do it by yourself right ? just choose the answer.. if you need to choose 1 from 5 choices then the prediction should be 20% correct 🧙‍♂️

An idea I had, but never actually built it or did any type of PoC. Very high level, would be a simple app/site for people to anonymously submit what they are paying for consumer services, such as cable/internet services, insurance premiums, etc. Then either provide a report on whatever services the person is interested in benchmarking, as onetime or annual subscription. Basically any service where consumers could all be paying different, higher or lower rates for the exact same services due to various external factors. For me the overall concept was clear, but how this would or could be monetized, was a bit unclear and needed some more studying.

I have a complete based idea about the update on my app the latest update was Feb the update released should be daily for dev and monthly for stable but 5 months later no stable release in the moment the idea turn into rock.. So all of the new features and improvements which is already planned didnt go to production 100% delayed by months...

An idea I had privately in my head. Basically a single browser that you can choose what render engine and javascript engine to use.
For instance when opening a new tab, you could choose a Blink render engine with a V8 javascript engine and that would be Chrome.
But you could then open another tab, a combination of WebKit and Nitro and then it would be Safari.

The whole idea is that web developers can see / test everything in one browser that renders it the same as they would in the real Chrome / Edge / Safari.

Yea there are a couple of place that you can pay to spin up some virtual machines / devices, they work quite well in most situations.

Almost. so this seems to render in different sizes or devices if you will.
But for theMacBook Pro 13" for instance, you can't seem to select via which render engine (browser) to open the site in.
I might be wrong, but at a quick first glance it seems to use a Chromium type of render engine.
Where my thought is to implement a choice of different render engines, rather than a choice of device size (although still very useful)

So that you can see a site, the way it would actually render on an iPhone X but in Chrome & Safari (using their native rendering)
if that makes sense ?

Right. Makes sense. Would be very useful with a combination of both if that's possible.

Imho, this design idea is good but, but mandatory run smotth as possible, aroun 60 FPS and more. I did not look the code, but if you could mix with some exsisting UI solution like tailwind then it will be promising.
