Community Product, Tech, Software & App Ideas

Great software products evolve when engineers, product managers, and everyday users share concrete ideas in public. The CrowdFeatures Ideas Hub organizes community-submitted proposals into four specialized collections: Tech Ideas, Product Ideas, Software Ideas, and App Ideas.

Every idea listed below is tied to a real platform or engineering workflow, complete with problem statements, implementation context, and transparent community priority votes.

Revolut: Tap to Pay receive Money

The current flow to receive money from friends via the revolut.me link is already more convenient than receiving money from non revolut friends via other means. However using the NFC functionality to receive money from others via a tap to pay would be so convenient. Eg SumUp allows this for their businesses to just use a phone as the payment terminal, having that for private use would be super convenient to get paid by eg friends on vacation or similar.

Anthropic: Anthropic, PLEASE Let Us Hide the Usage Circle in Claude. This Is an Accessibility Issue.

I genuinely love using Claude, but there is one UI decision that has been bothering me more than it probably should: the usage circle displayed in the interface. I understand why usage indicators exist. Anthropic wants users to know how much of their allowance they have consumed and when they might approach their limits. That's completely reasonable. But why can't we choose to hide it? I personally experience claustrophobia, and certain interface elements can make me uncomfortable, especially when they create a constant feeling of restriction or pressure. The usage circle is one of those elements for me. Every time I use Claude, I am reminded that my usage is limited. I don't want to constantly monitor a circle filling up or worry about how close I am to reaching a limit. I just want to use the product without that visual reminder following me around. 1. Accessibility Should Include Customization Accessibility isn't only about screen readers, font sizes, or color contrast. It should also include giving people control over elements that cause unnecessary visual discomfort. Different people experience interfaces differently. Some people find usage indicators helpful. Others find them distracting, stressful, or uncomfortable. Why should everyone be forced to see the same indicator? A simple toggle in Settings could solve this: Settings → Appearance → Show Usage Indicator → Off That's it. People who want the circle can keep it. People who don't can hide it. Nobod

WhatsApp: Find messages within a chat by date

I have chats that contain 100,000+ messages, going back over more than a year. I frequently want to refer to previous messages, but it’s very hard to find them just by text search, particularly when many of them are photos/videos/voice notes. Being able to search within a specific chat by date would be extremely helpful.

Telegram: Render LaTeX math code

Problem: Currently, LaTeX equation code is expressed literally, even when wrapped in $ ... $ or in Markdown code blocks. Proposed Solution: Introduce LaTeX equation rendering for mathematical formulae when the $ syntax is encountered.

Strava: Paragliding Activity Type

Strava doesn't have a way of tracking Paragliding activities and/or hike & fly. This would be a great add! It would be great to see auto-takeoff and land, or transitions. Similar to backcountry skiing!

Cohere: Claim-to-Evidence Coverage and Contradiction API

Pre-flight checklist - [x] This is an API feature request, not a consumer app or Comet UI request. - [ ] Check current documentation and forum topics for closely equivalent functionality before posting. - [x] The developer workflow or API use case is described below. Feature type New response field or metadata; New endpoint or API capability Affected API area Search API; Agent API Summary Show which parts of a compound claim are supported, disputed or not established by a cited record. Problem One source may validate a date but not an alleged motive, impact or causal relationship. A citation alongside an entire sentence can misrepresent its evidential scope. Proposed API behavior Return claim components and per-component evidence links, including source spans where permitted, support type, contrary records, missing elements and reviewer qualification. Keep uncertain interpretations explicit rather than converting them to unsupported numerical confidence. Example usage For a claim that a policy changed in March and directly caused a later improvement, the API can confirm the dated policy change while marking the claimed causal impact as not established. Workarounds tried / considered Developers can manually split claims and compare excerpts, or ask models to do so; these methods require verification and may conflate inference with source-supported fact. Impact Research, legal-policy, education and compliance applications benefit

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Ideas Hub different from the Feature Requests Board?

The Feature Requests Board (/feature-requests) tracks specific feature requests across all 80+ companies chronologically or by vote count, whereas the Ideas Hub (/ideas) groups proposals by domain—Tech Ideas (/ideas/tech), Product Ideas (/ideas/product), Software Ideas (/ideas/software), and App Ideas (/ideas/app)—so builders can explore trends by discipline.

Can anyone submit and vote on ideas without creating an account?

Yes. CrowdFeatures allows frictionless voting and idea submission so product builders and users can validate demand immediately.

How do I browse ideas for a specific company?

Visit our Companies Directory (/companies) or click any company badge on an idea card to open its dedicated board at /company/<slug>.
