Reply Within…
Why?
Even though email is an asynchronous system by its nature, it might be useful to have a context of the urgency of reply. Something that is more precise than “low/normal/high priority.”
How?
Use one digit number from 0 to 9 to specify the number of days until you would like to receive a reply. Start your subject line with this figure. Zero for today, one for tomorrow, etc.

Why?

How?

At the same time, you can also press a button, and it’ll connect you to someone that can help you with your question or problem.

Just One Photo at a Time
Why?
Make people who like your work pay attention.
How?
An app that only shows one picture – the last one you published. It will disappear when you post the next picture. Every time you publish a new picture, all your followers on this app (and other platforms like Twitter and Facebook) will receive notice of the new photo. They can and should save the picture if they want to keep it because when you publish your next one, it’ll disappear.
