EloLup – guess reactions to short videos instead of scrolling them

The Take

Instead of swiping, you drop a point on an X/Y pad where X=certainty and Y=resonance; matching the crowd updates a persistent 'intuition' score — neat reframing of social capital as prediction skill. The interface is intentionally minimal and playful, but the real test is adoption: cold-start, bot manipulation and moderation could make or break the mechanic.

Target Audience

Casual social-media users, gamers who like lightweight prediction mechanics, product/UX experimenters and attention-economy researchers

Post Description

For each video, you guess how others react by dropping a point on a 2D pad: Y represents resonance with the content, X represents certainty in that resonance.

The closer your guess is to the crowd’s evolving consensus (which is itself based on others’ guesses), the higher your score. These scores then aggregate into your intuition level - a metric that allows content consumers to be compared.

The idea is to turn the current passive scrolling state of social media into a prediction game where users can compete for social capital through prediction skill rather than content production alone.

Alarm Arcade – an alarm app that only stops after you beat a mini-game

Marries motion, reflex and cognitive mini-games (shake, tilt maze, memory match, typing, reaction grid) with per-alarm difficulty and widgets so dismissing the alarm actually requires deliberate input. The app is offline/no-account and has a clean, focused UI, but it's tackling a crowded niche (Alarmy and similar apps exist) — to stand out it needs a genuinely novel mission or evidence it changes wake-up behavior.
