What to build..
With 12 hours until Appril begins I have yet to decide what to do. Some ideas currently being weighed up:
- Favorite Things: A page that pulls in only the awesome bits of the internet. Like your fav tweets, flickr photos, vimeo videos, hypemachine songs, etc. A big box of loveliness.
- Web Based Twitter Client: I like the concepts of tweetdeck with it’s friend groups and searches but AIR runs painfully slow on my machine, so why not an in-browser clone of the idea but with a different UI that better suits me?
- Easy Electricity Monitoring: I have a current cost device that measures my home electricity usage. It also dumps out an xml feed of my usage patterns. There’s plenty of different apps that plug into this to do graphing, sharing, etc but it’s hard to decide which to use and where to get started. There needs to be a simple app & user guide. Perhaps like a last.fm scrobbler-style app that let’s you choose which webhooks to push to.
- Printing: An app that turns your blog/tweets/friendfeed/facebook into a big pdf you can print via lulu to read and treasure offline.
