Note that I'm a seasoned software engineer, versed in the ways of web services, iOS apps, desktop apps, and web apps, having shipped numerous of these for the various companies I've worked at during the years. Some of these skills would need some dusting-off, but I wouldn't be intimidated by that. I had a New Year Resolution that I would make any software, on any platform, using whatever stack, that someone who never interacted with me personally would pay at least $1 for. This resolution meant a lot to me. It's December 18, and I'm failing it miserably. The reason? I've been thinking about what to make, almost every day of the passing year, and I still have zero ideas. Yes I've Googled for things. I've asked people things. Everything seemed either too complex for a lone full-time employed programmer with a family and a kid, or was simple but didn't seem like anyone would pay money for it. In the meantime, I got a promotion where I work for successfully shipping projects. What gives?
