What app/website do you think is missing in Malaysia?

One app to time all public transport arrivals lol

I always think about some kind of platform to either pesan or ambil barang from other locations. Say I’m driving from KL to kuantan at this date, i put it up on the website. Maybe there’s someone else in KL who need to get something from kuantan, they search in the app and found my listing. Nego2 then I just bring his thing to KL for a small fee. I’m already driving to KL anyway, might as well make a bit of money from the trip.

Of course there’s a lot of things in the background to figure out like pricing, protection, etc (we don’t want the drivers to end up transporting drugs or anything). But I’d definitely use an app like that.

Which workshop to go and avoid.

Social Service app, but you will need a strong social service organisation to operate it (maybe even government support). I am thinking for it to be an easy platform for people to offer their time to do social service, and be recognised for it.

Anyone can sign up and volunteer to offer services like bringing disabled people for hospital visit, cleaning and bringing supplies etc.

Employers can access and verify social work done by a potential employee.

People can sign themselves up as someone (or a proxy to someone) who requires service from social worker.

Social workers can be part time or full time, if full time will have education opportunity, career pathway and professional development (future leaders or manager for such social service organisation).

OK I went too far :P

I would like some Ai app that can take a pic of the food in front of me and estimate it’s calories

An app to pay for parking which covers the entire country. All those apps that are only applicable for a particular state or majlis bandaran can go F themselves. No one like to have multiple apps on their phone that does the same job

An app to get leftover food from restaurants like Too Good To Go.

Outfit matchers

Price match app, I take a photo of a item and it searches online for the cheapest price

Augmented reality app that help you design your room

safety app in terms of walking alone during nighttime

website to rate the public toilet.

rating starting from "I rather shit by the road side" to "must visit even if you don't need to use the toilet"

App that display real market price for anything. Good, grocery, salary, anything.

A proper site for freelance services, similar to fiverr. In my job I interact a lot with a lot of people and what I've observed is that in Malaysia we actually have a lot of people who have the pretty decent skills and can deliver top notch service. There is a reason why a lot of our workforce are either outsourced to other countries or part of a shared service organization. If there's a way we can still retain our top talent in the country and still find avenues for them to earn a decent side hustle, this might help.

Carpool app where people who are going to the same place can go together and earn points to claim rewards something like that.

Something like this would be great: https://www.fixmystreet.com/

It is like our sw development issue tracking systems aka Jira, bugzilla, etc but for things like potholes, street lights, and other stuff for the local government to fix.

Of course, I bet you have a lot of fun trying to convince our local city councils to get on board with the idea.

Something like killedbygoogle.com, but for politicians' promises. Track what they said they will do (election promises, statement after fuckups, etc) and what's the follow-up/outcome.

We can call it liesbypoliticians.com :)

Singapore has a BudgetMealGoWhere app, very useful to find everyday eats when I was working in an unfamiliar area. Malaysia definitely needs this.

DEFINITELY a public transport app or an app that can show you the best public transport routes to different locations.

OR alternatively, there's this app called OLIO where you can post things you want to give away for free. that can be good too to avoid waste and help people.

Apps to compare daily grocery prices across different shopping centers.

A working PDRM app

redbubble but based in Malaysia. idk if this is what you meant. But hey we have our own version of Uber (Grab) and our own version ebay/amazon (shopee and lazada). So why can't redbubble?

Employer and employee reviews database. Easy way to background check everyone without going through forums and backdoor interviews with ex employees or ex employers. Good reason to paywall this as well.

Payment portal for food pickup. I currently used grab and Foodpanda for arranging food pickup. Call the restaurant ahead of time to order, they won't make it until I pay. FP and Grab are my current options for this, and I think their rates are too expensive for this particular service. If there's an app that can be used as a payment intermediary and protects the customer from having to pay for wrong/incomplete orders, it's a huge plus.

Having travelled in Thailand before, I like to see Grabbike in Malaysia, for going to a place that's too far for a walk but too close for a Grabcar, but on second thought maybe better not. Most bike riders in Malaysia ride like pelesit.

An all purpose app for parents. From something small and you need in a pinch, like where is the nursing room in this hella crowded mall, to something more substantial like filtering for kindergartens in your area based on budget, curriculum, facilities etc. Currently these all exist in 1000 different blogs and websites and I wish there’s a way to just one-stop-shop it. For example if I’m planning to meet friends and we all have to bring our toddlers, we’d want a cafe with a play area. I have to search this on a browser, get the keywords right, go back and forth on Google maps to see the location/opening hours/whether it’s still even open. Should I want to add another criteria, like ease of parking, good luck.

Can expand to include products and resources for parents eg how to choose the right carseat for your exact car models and where to buy them, newborn checklist, maybe an exchange platform for parents to buy/sell/trade their items. I hope for this to be a more equitable one as well. Financial advice for all, not just the wealthy, announcements on subsidies that would be available for parents and how to get them (eg most won’t know about carseat subsidies, ADAM50 etc unless they were looking for it, and those who would most benefit from them may not be aware of the existence of subsidies/assistance at all).

Would 100% pay for this and I imagine many would too. Can do a free version with limited functionality and subscription fee or straight one-time payment for lifetime use.

another omi/tinder/litmatch,but u can ping the map and let the map list all other acc by distance km,yep pump up the thirstines

Uber for shower

T pose app

An app or service that can act as a “bridge” to transfer money between all eWallet in Malaysia.

This is a global thing but an app that takes a pic of clothes and see how it fits in your body type. Useful when you're in malls and stuff

Better alternative to Mudah

Tbh i think a carpool app is good though.

A delivery route planner would be nice. I work for a frozen meats factory and get a lot of delivery orders to different places at the crack of dawn. Having a fast way to plan an effective delivery route would save me some mental stress.

Does anyone know of a service where i can engage a caregiver in a need? This would be helpful

An app for roadside warungs and kedai tomyam just for stating their opening time. If they are closed, just update their status so I won't waste my time going there. If they move somewhere else they can post their new location.

Not a new idea but I personally find my own local university apps to be pretty annoying to use, if only there is a way to refine them. I got a few friends from other local unis complaining the same thing. The website for sending in assignments can lag when there's too much traffic and my uni claims that they don't have enough funding to fix it. Not sure if it's possible to just improve the efficiency of those websites. 🤷

Gojek hire massage.

I would love to get a head massage in office chair once in awhile.

read from top to bottom. good my idea not here yet.

I think we need something like Craiglist, which everybody can list their need and want on a page. It might be selling something, finding someone, buying something, rental, to rent, jobs, jodoh, seeking lost friend, selling bike, lost and found, services..We might already have Mudah.my which quite similar to Craiglist and nowadays people simply posting it on Facebook, but it have downside is like easily drown as algorithm makes based on likes and user interaction.

One website to consolidate all government websites. It does not even need to be fancy - just look at the UK government website gov.uk. It's simple and easy to navigate, explains things well, and have all the necessary links and resources. It actually won the 2013 Design of the Year award!

i’m currently studying in the UK and they’ve got an app called toogoodtogo here (recommending bc it’s one of the best things i found out here!) it’s basically an app where restaurants and cafes/places for desserts and drinks that provides “bags” that you can buy consisting of what they can’t sell out for the day instead of throwing it out and creating food waste. they sell them in (obv good state and safe for consuming) bags where you pay a very small amount and collect it either the next day/the day itself depending on the time slot stated! you get to rate the restaurant and the quality of its bag on the app so there’s transparency on whether the restaurant is up to par in terms of quality and quantity! usually for this sushi restaurant that i get bentos from they charge £5 for one box but on the app, bentos that don’t sell out for the day won’t be kept to maintain quality and instead they pack 4/5 of these bentos into one big bag for a very reasonable price! the quantity of bags available are different everyday, so when business is good we aren’t able to buy bags as there are none!

Don't have an idea at the moment. But I do foresee some of the challenges you may find working on country-specific problems in our nation will be the limited number of public API available to use - I myself had to search for quite a bit until finding an appropriate API to get our latest Bursa stock market data in our region for my own little project.

Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like another developer to muse over ideas with, who knows where this could led to :)

An online marketplace where goods and products can be consolidated for bulk import/export.

I was thinking about an app (not necessarily mobile) that maintain the health history of everyone, including hospitalisations, injuries, allergies and medications they currently are taking. If sold to healthcare facilities, it would allow those hospital that subscribes to have access to understand and treat patients better. In cases like an accident, it would help the doctors to make a better informed decision. Hence, being part of this network could potentially be a marketing tool for hospitals

Hospitals that subscribe, would maintain this record and keep it current and share it with others.

Music detection tools, sometimes I hear good sounding music but idk what the f is that music and too shy to ask

Although I know I can try to record it and upload to YouTube and hope that the content ID can capture it and tell it from the copyright claims

Venmo. It may already exist but nothing is widely used by everyone here.

Another idea, a price comparator app that actually works, with data that is community contributed + data scrapped (API if any partner is willing to collaborate). Something that takes into account of all the different sizes/packs, delivery fee, discounts, packaging and display the final price as a comparable number (e.g. RM2 per kg)

I must say it is currently very difficult to compare prices for the same item even on shopee itself

A financial tracker app that records your income and expenditures from your bank account and tng app. One of the coolest feature in Bank of America app, where the app could track all your money income and usage automatically.

An app to identify kelantan people so we can avoid them

shopee,but using crypto instead

I got a great idea but you need to bank in 1 million dollars to me first

Robinhood. Broker-less stock trading app

Parking beer/ liquor. All the place i go either cannot leave liquor or just write name. If change bartender gg but of cos never happen. But still an app that can allow bars keep track of beer owed with phone number

Not really an idea. But if you are looking for a colaboration, you can DM me. Im working remote but most of the days i work 2 hours max for a day. My tech stack - React , nextjs (FE). laravel , nodejs (Backend ,API). Flutter (mobile)

Is there an app out there that tracks all the upcoming event in the country?

I use this site religiously when I stay in UK many years back. Still browsing it from time to time. It's a brilliant site.

A website of the full political story of malaysia from the past 40 years

Hey OP, a project that tracks community-contributed prices of everyday goods - like your vege, chicken, egg, shampoo, etc. Make this data available to everyone via a free public api (get grants from gomen). Have a dashboard that everyone can access and see. Think open street maps but for prices of everyday essentials. Interested? Hit me up as this is what I wanna do.

I would suggest something like Sainsbury’s SmartShop . Basically, when doing groceries, you could just scan the products using your smartphone and checkout using your phone using online payments. Easy - walk in, choose and scan your groceries, and pay online (or using apple pay) and walk out. No queues.

something like 'setel' but its not restricted to use at only one petrol station

universal app that can do everything, you know it get very annoying when you have to install one app, that you only use like once every 3 month. like banking app etc. service that only work on app. because the web version is too unsecure.maybe something that can run the app on virtual machine or something that u can use without having to install it.
i personally tired of having to install app for everything lol. that why i like canva

A missed connection app. For Malaysia, perhaps by state?
