The 'appointment reminder' functionality that you stressed on the linked page has been done, almost ad nauseum.

The biggest ones I'm aware of are AppointmentReminder.org, which is helmed by our very own Patio11, ReminderCall.com, and Inphonite. Beyond that, there are specific appointment reminder applications per given niche (there are like, 3 very large, very expensive ones geared towards health care appointments, for instance).

Do you know of a list of problems which have been solved ad nauseam? It would be useful when coming up with a 'revolutionary' new idea, to quickly check if it is :)

Well, I said that it had been 'done', ad nauseum, but I don't have any special insight as to whether or not it's been solved, or that even if it has, that there isn't room for improvement, or differentiation. Search was considered 'solved' well before Google got into the market, for example.

That said, I'm not aware of any such lists, though market research is always encouraged before spending time on development.
