I love the weekends because I treat it as an opportunity to learn and experiment. I usually spend my free time designing new ideas that pop up in my head, learning/experimenting how to code, work on my startup and my favorite trying new products I find on Product Hunt.

I recently saw a commercial showing how the Samsung Galaxy S10 can charge phones by placing the phones back to back.

I decided to create my own product for Apple Devices.

Introducing Splash

I’m a huge Apple fan so I decided to start designing an app that would do this but with a wire instead (until Apple decides to put this in their next iPhone).

Imagined two iPhone users using a charger that had two lightning cables on each side instead of one lightning cable and one USB. That way one lightning cable can grab battery from one phone and send it to the other. I’m not an electrical engineer so I’m not sure if this would even work, which is why this is a concept idea.

You could then use Splash to toggle how much battery you want to give to the other phone/device you’re trying to charge.

How it works

Users plug in the device they want to use to charge the other device. Once Splash confirms it’s plugged in it will tell you to plug in your second device.

After the second device is plugged in you will pick how much of Device 1’s battery you want to give to Device 2. All you have to do is drag the bar to the left.

You then click the “Start Charging” button and Splash will start charging the second device. It even gives you how long it will take to charge your second device.

Final Thoughts

Full Demo

I thought this was a pretty cool idea because it allows you to charge other peoples devices without having to have an external charger. I can’t stand carrying extra electronics around.

I’m thinking about building off this idea, I would love for you to add your thoughts at the bottom!
