I have hit a brick wall. I keep making small web-apps, play around with them for a few weeks, and then throw them away into a miscellaneous folder (been growing it since 11th grade now) that is looked at from time to time to see how much I have improved.
The issue is that I have always been making things for myself, based on ideas I came up with. I want to make something that is outside of my comfort zone, from scratch.
So my request from the community:
Suggest an idea for a web app that doesn't exist, the more novel or strange, the better. I will try my best to make a fully functioning prototype, not spending more than 48 hours per app.
a turntable.fm clone that spits out shoutcast-compatible urls
or in slightly more detail: - user creates channel - user invites friends - users can collaboratively manage playlist - users have access to a shoutcast-compatible url that's a shared stream of said playlist
should give you a few interesting engineering problems to deal with :)
