Ask HN: What is your startup idea? - shubhamjain
HN has plenty of smart folks from variety of industries, backgrounds, and experience who can give valuable feedback and suggestions to a business idea. Even though the community&#x27;s judgement has proven to be fallible (cue: dropbox launch thread), I think it&#x27;s worth taking the feedback into account.<p>Do you have a business &#x2F; product idea in mind that you&#x27;d like to start? Tell us about it and how it can solve a problem.

Better Cloud Logging — Most of the logging solutions I have seen rely on
sending big dump of log files which, then, can be searched. I think it creates
unneeded noise as most of the logging data generated with server applications,
by default, might not be useful enough. A better approach might be to send
logging messages as events manually from various parts of your stack. It can
be a better solution to debug a problem as following the flow becomes easier.

For eg, instead of relying on stack trace generated by an exception, we can
ask developers to carefully log every step in the application flow ("request
from user", "starting database", "user authenticated", "authentication
failed") as it'll give a clearer picture on how the error happened.

In some ways, it combines the features of Mixpanel and Rollbar. In fact,
sometimes, I have found event logging to be more fruitful rather than using
something like Loggly.

The timing is probably not ideal, as the system is not yet fully functional,
but there will be very interesting opportunities using the Galileo satellite
navigation system...the paid version will have up to 1cm precision, which will
revolutionize many GIS/navigation areas (and likely open up a lot of new ones)
