A reddit style website for political parties to refine their platform.  The users would submit ideas and then they would be edited for clarity.  The users would vote on each change.  the users would use real names and vote with their name.  each party could establish rules for behavior on their site.  This would not replace a primary but could replace the caucus portion.

This idea makes the caucus process better for those that speak a different primary language, those who are hearing impaired, shy introverts who don't want to stand up to talk, single parents, working poor and all those without time to spend a tuesday night at their local elementary school.   Not that the in person caucus couldn't work with this system, but each idea discussed would have to be typed into the website for future online discussion.

States should create a lottery, where homeowners can pay $1 more on their state taxes to be put into a pool of money.  The winner gets a home renovation that upgrades to code (including amnesty for any work done without a permit) and energy efficiency.  New windows, energy efficient furnace, etc. The program would strengthen the state's housing stock, make living spaces safer, and reduce wasted energy.
A smartphone that's able to be docked at a workstation (two monitors, full keyboard, mouse, and office style phone with headset).  It will keep all of your work information on one physical space- backed up online- but a more convenient size than a surface/chromebook. Hotdesking is going to become more popular in the future, even though employers should not use it as an excuse to reduce the employees home station.
Workplaces need a calendar function for work functions that allows employees to choose available, tentative, or unavailable so they're able to let the company know if they're able to accomplish those specific offsite duties.  If the employees keep their availability up to date, it would make scheduling multi-worker events easier.
