What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?
"I always thought it would be neat to build a vocab-learning app which presents you with a word and its definition, and then tests you along various dimensions to reinforce your understanding of the nuances of that word's usage and connotation. Most vocab-learning apps just present you such information to learn passively, rather than drilling you on e.g. when you should use this word vs another, similar word, or teaching and then testing you on a word's etymology."

What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?
I've always wanted to see an accounting education app built. In America, the most popular college major is business, but accounting education has barely changed for decades. Students still seem to use lectures and textbooks to decipher how new data mutates other data. A student should be able to use software to visualize how, say, depreciation flows through the various financial statements. Software brings a lot to the table: interactivity, branching, multiple cursors, form validation, and of course, an LLM to reason about why you misunderstood something the way you did.
Often building projects that analyze data in my life or save me a few minutes every day. See more at erichli.com.

What’s your favorite app idea you’ve always wanted to see built?
An app that turns your wildest daydreams into reality. Imagine describing your dream—whether it's flying through the clouds, exploring a hidden city underwater, or hanging out with your favorite fictional characters—and the app uses VR and AI to create an immersive experience that makes it feel real. Because who wouldn’t want to step into their dreams every now and then?
