This is great. Snapchat + Git = Get code before it disappears
Hope Atina
Ryan Hoover
"Airbnb + Soundcloud" juuust might work.
Vlad Kudinov
@rrhoover Thanks for adding us Ryan! We hope it's the fun tool to brainstorm some freaky ideas ;)
David Glauber
@stsilent @rrhoover fun indeed, frankly got some lot of laugh
Mike Williams (Yoroomie)
@rrhoover Studiotime + Soundcloud ;)
Sophie Le Roy
This is nice! It makes me think of Idea generation cards which also have a deck to combine different brands and apps: http://bit.ly/1Ub4I7G Basically you can shuffle cards of many different themes and associate words to generate ideas. It's a good tool to enhance creativity!

Could see this being a fun tool for a hackathon. Have each team come up and hit the spacebar and then have to build something around the combo. Could see a nice slot machine style animation really getting it to "pop," but definitely realize that could be pretty tough to implement and probably not worth the time. Nice fun site! Congrats @MonsterCritic on the simple execution!
Daniel Schildt
Nice little project. :) How many individual startup choices do you currently have there (not counting matches)?
Sergey Shmidt
@autiomaa There are 83 startups, I don't know how to count unique combinations :)
Sergey Shmidt
@autiomaa if my calculations are correct - there are 3403 different breeds

@monstercritic @autiomaa I don't remember the proper equation for permutations but it's something like X = n(n-1)(n-2) and so on depending on how many spots you have available and assuming you can't have the same one selected twice there are 6806 combinations. Can someone tell me if this is right? I need to brush up on my elementary math. smh.
Sergey Shmidt
@kenrossi @autiomaa My formula was ((n * n)-n)/2. I can't explain why is it so, but I figured it out with simple numbers: 2,3,4 and 5 elements). There is no need in combinations like Spotify + Spotify; and Spotify + Snapchat is the same as Snapchat + Spotify.
K R
@monstercritic @autiomaa Ah, I duplicated. I didn't take into account about order. I had to look this up ... C(n,r) = C(83,2) = 83 / (2 (83 - 2)) = 3403.

Airbnb + Uber? Please don't steal my car!
Shiv Patel
@stsilent @demoweb_co How was your experience with Turo been? Was talking to some team members there recently.

pandora + tripadvisor : An intelligent trip recommendation app based on previous travel likes/dislikes .
Travis Weathers
@theanshuldhawan I love that idea. I'm an avid traveler with my wife and it was time consuming to find great travels!
Alex
This is awesome! How many different sites is it choosing from currently?
Marc Seitz
Tesla + Oculus <3 @rrhoover
David Glauber
Are there any rules for the breeding?
Sergey Shmidt
@dglbr No, just pure random.
Niv Dror
Clearly this is how every good idea in Silicon Valley gets started.
Andreas Mitschke
@nivo0o0 too fast - headache now, thanks.
Saijo George
@stsilent nice work mate, loving the idea. Do you have plans to expand this in to things like domain name suggestion for breeds, etc?
Manu Lohiya
this is great work with a neat design! @stsilent @monstercritic I am working on a similar concept with more of a user generated focus. It would be cool to collaborate!
Shankar
Would be even more interesting if I get to 'lock' one of the options, like in https://coolors.co
Abe Storey
Love this idea! Great work :)
Derek Morin
1 + 1 = 3 as they say
David Diamond
@stsilent I actually mentioned this in an interview with Paul Kemp about 2 months ago lol http://goo.gl/BkFXJm
Cyril
Nice idea :) It would be interesting to eventually "stick" one option. Like if you want to have ideas about something based on Flickr for example.
David Jehl
Facebook + Messenger ... Well ...
Varun Mahajan
Waze + Product Hunt = More curation
