- ameister14 14y agoWell, you could do simple bill tracking. You make a little program that ranks bills you have to pay in order of importance, based on an algorithm you make. If you wanted to expand it you could do that with fixed monthly bills and an auto-entry feature, but that's totally unnecessary. That shouldn't take more than a few days. Doesn't have to be clean, just work for you.

- aymeric 14y agoBuild a mobile personal relationship assistant. You can add new contacts in there, and the frequency you want to catch up with them. The app shows you the upcoming people you should contact. It will help people build and maintain their social network. Create the app using html5/js so that people can use it from anywhere. Example: Robert -> Due Jenny -> to contact in 3 days Arthur -> to contact in 4 days Matt -> to contact in 10 days
- xcubic 14y agoThat is actually pretty interesting. I was thinking trying to build something like that but with some kind of integration with my gmail accounts.
- timjahn 14y agoThis would actually be pretty cool. I suck at keeping up with people and checking in on how things are going with them. A simple reminder with some context along these lines would go a long way I think.
