Some kind of commitment contract, to help motivate you do to things and avoid procrastination. Like Stickk (https://www.stickk.com/) but using zaps.
Here's the definition of Commitment Contract as per Stickk:
A Commitment Contract is a binding agreement you sign with yourself to ensure that you follow through with your intentions—and it does this by utilizing the psychological power of loss aversion and accountability to drive behavior change.
So if you had a goal of, say, writing a blog post weekly, you could put that in the contract, along with some sats as a bond. You find a partner to hold you accountable. The partners job is to review the photo or link (or whatever evidence you provide) to make sure you did what you planned.
For instance, if you've been procrastinating on cleaning out the garage, you could post the before picture as a part of the contract, and then the after picture, with a clean garage. Your partner would agree - your garage is now clean - and the sats would get returned.
Apparently the most popular program at Stickk is the "anti-charity". In other words, if you don't fulfill your commitment, your sats go to an organization that you hate.

I always keep a "Idea box" of ideas and concepts about what I can build.
Some of those ideas came to mind when I discovered Nostr:
- A todo list of some kind, public, private or both, maybe gamified.
- A fun virtual room live chat with game like visuals, imagine MMO chats with speech bubbles.
- A game-like client that lets you create and explore other people worlds, imagine a 2d pokemon world with an editor and custom avatars and graphics.
- The idea box itself could be fun to build too, like a brainstorming hub.
Those are fun ideas I'm willing to build, maybe not now and maybe not in Nostr but surely some of those will come true someday.
