Looks poo promising!

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?

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

A working lottery app would be useful.

What is a 'working' lottery app? One that helps you win1, or one that draws numbers properly?
1 With liberal pages of help that describe things like the Gambler's Fallacy.[^]

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). ))

Fantastic ideas, thanks. The two grocery (and general) list apps I've tried are little more than "just useful", but some dedicated work, with input, could really produce something great.

Clickety[^] (SFW)
Now, let's just for a second assume that it would be a good idea to make a selfie stick that looks like a hand, and that people would actually be willing to buy it...
(Outside of Japan, that is, because I'm sure that the are actually crazy enough to buy it) (He said, once again generalizing an entire countrys population)
Why not then try to make it just a TINY bit realistic and not look like something found in the "Living Dead" prop storage????

Well something like this

Maybe they (the upper elite) want to make us think zombies are not like in movies and then spread the plague to frighten us
!END!
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

I approve.
Only because it's a lot harder to beat one of these genius photographers to death with a normal selfie stick, but approval is approval.
