I want an app that can reply to my wife's endless texts throughout the day without her realising that it is not me who is responding, and then a short while before I leave work it should give me a summary of anything it has agreed for me to do before I get home.
Version 2 should be able to record my phone conversations with her with a view to taking them over too.
I love my wife very much, but she is off work on long term sick and she does get very bored.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

+5*10^endless
But:
Why not give her a programming task?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

An app which will analyze CP Q & A questions and ...
... automatically push homework questions to an irrecoverable place
|
|
|
|
|
Or push the homework questions on to a network of devs willing to do homework for money. I'll found said network, having little sympathy for those who think money can buy knowledge. My like of money is much greater than my sympathy there.

Should that developer network exclude the professor who gave the homework?
Or include him/her?

Well the professor should be best qualified to provide the answer and basically this is a service that "cheats" the educational process. Why can't the prof prove the educational system is as corrupt and unethical as the student willing to buy their answers?

How about a calorie counting app(I am thinking of writing one and if someone else wrote one for me I could sit on the couch eating burgers and watching movies instead of writing it...)
Ability to enter ingredients and their calories per item/gram(need to be able to store brand with ingredients as different brands will have different counts).
Ability to create recipes from the ingredients with a calorie count per portion.
Ability to keep a food diary.

Nice idea. I actually started work on such an app, almost exactly how you describe, but it was targeted to be groundbreaking in mobile, and somebody beat us to it. But as a more academic, but still with potential, exercise it's probably quite well worth my while taking it up again.

I got up off the sofa and onto the coding chair.
Having spent the past two days writing it I now have a calorie counting app - still a lot of tidying up to do but it allows recipes, ingredients and has a food diary with calorie calculations.
Not too difficult really and a fun little project.

Nice. I've been 'on the sofa' all weekend, with all good intent of returning to work on my example app tomorrow. When can we expect the article?

Timekeeper.
Enter the task you are working on, click to start/stop/take a break.
Accumulate information for the day/week/month/year
Report a la timesheet (export to XML or pdf or CSV etc.)

Yes, nice idea, thanks. It could extend into mobile quite nicely, for people working on site, without access to normal office tooling.

What is a 'working' lottery app? One that helps you win1, or one that draws numbers properly?

How about an app that suggests practical and real world examples to be used in articles and blog posts?

It's a work in progress.

This is the app I would write if I had the time and energy to do it.
A Grocery List App (with ability to share among the family as a V2 feature).
1) Be able to Barcode in the UPC labels to make the list
2) List building mode, you enter the barcode (it looks it up locally first), and the prompts for qty
(Which can be defaulted. Mac & Cheese: 10 pack, LOL)
3) Text based (celery, etc)
4) Grouping (Fridge, Pantry, Spice Rack), so you can explore what you have ordered before and skip barcoding.
5) After building the list, you have a CHECK LIST to take to the store.
Now, the SUPER COOL part is to sort the list in the order the items appear in your store.
This actually requires a separate data structure of stores, that have sortable sections. And knowing what section the products end up in.
V2 Feature: Text a message to all interested parties when Shopping has begun!
(Or a "I am going to the store" function, so lists are updated before you get to the store.
Great for families like ours, where talking just leads to fighting, LOL)
==
Now, add-ons would include "Solve for Price". Where it could lookup the pricing of things and let you choose a small area to stop and purchase different items from. Consume the loss leaders from 2-3 stores, and save a bundle.
Another add-on: Work with the stores to "broadcast" their aisles to make things easier to find once you get in the local store, to sort the list for the user. AND Pay for this, by offering, ON SCREEN Coupons for competitor versions of the products nearby!!!
Another add-on: Find X. Given any product description. Using the store level interface. Determine where that item is at, in the store. This could be a product on its own. And is proof of the usefulness of the idea.
I am sure others might have some useful ideas to add on...
I might have more, but I have to go shopping, because my wife went yesterday and forgot 3 of the things I needed, and wrote down for her on the paper she REFUSED TO TAKE WITH HER! (only for the second time this week). ))
