I've said it before, but music chords/tabs.

Audio cassettes.

A dating site, difficult as it would be, would be great to undermine the Match.com monopoly

I doubt I'd have the skill to write it but I've long thought something like Etsy could be interesting.

I think the federated nature of the Fediverse could do well to stave off the worst of any spamming.

But the thing I notice the most with independent sellers is that the bulk of what they're doing is networking, generally amongst friends. Which, really, is the ideal environment for goods and services to be sold.

But, since capitalism always demands the line goes up, places like Etsy inevitably abandon them and making their sites encouraging of that kind of interpersonal connecting in favor of entities which can mass churn products out.

Setting up shops in the fediverse would allow people to easily host their own shops (and not be reliant on the infrastructure of, say, Etsy) and boosting would organically encourage a web of trust since their friend is essentially saying, "I know this person; they're good." You could even have the code autotag listings with a hashtag so people can filter out those types of posts, if they don't want to.

Not sure how you'd handle federation when you first spin up an instance but, still, more alternatives are better than less, I expect.

I dunno; I think it'd be interesting.

Is there a fediverse LinkedIn equivalent? I hate that site but certain job applications ask for it now

I've love a federated online game. Hmm, maybe a MUD? Or some kind of sidescrolling platformer? Or a text adventure?

Shit, I bet I could code a federated text adventure based on ActivityPub. I've done crazier things on with Internet protocols.

Need some preem braindances, choom.

MySpace complete with way too much customer JavaScript injection.

I personally would love to see a fediverse alternative to something like StumbleUpon, which I always found to be quite unique in the realm of social media.

I also think having something like Spotify with social features powered by the fedi would be neat (I realise technically funkwhale is vaguely this, but in execution it really isn’t. It’s federation is pretty basic/not social). Thinking something where you can easily start listening parties, share music to friends to listen to, find song recommendations from friends likes, etc.

A game where you get 1 life attached to any AP account you have, when you die you are out until the last player is left standing. That'd be tight. Just post the updates and change logs on the fediverse. Share directly from the game to the fediverse.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.

Within the realm of computing any media we use today are a collection of bits. We use tools like web browsers to render many of those collections, text, image, sound, video, and pdf are all covered by current web browsers.

Other collections like documents and spreadsheets are rendered by their respective applications.

The fediverse only needs to support links to those for a functional experience.
