Project Ideas

Ideas

These ideas are offered publicly to the open-source community out of goodwill. I'm trying to grow my presence in the community and this helps others too! ❤️

All I ask is that you credit me somewhere within the UI.

Bitcoin Mixer

  • Open source Bitcoin mixer built with Script
  • Trustworthy and cannot be tampered with
  • Always available, no downtime or complications
  • Web client simply utilises the smart contract

YouTube Notes

  • Take notes with Markdown on YouTube videos inside the browser window
  • Able to integrate with Bear or Evernote
  • Likely to be browser extensions
  • Carry on where you left off with notes from a previous video
  • Automatically insert video timestamps into notes?

Modern Mac Dashboard

  • Improved version of Mac's Dashboard.app which feels ancient nowadays
  • Open source and extendable with web and front-end framework components
  • Accessible from any screen by pulling down with four fingers (who uses Exposé?)
  • Option to display individual component over current apps (like PiP)

Simpler Mac Color Picker

  • Invoke via Keyboard shortcut similar to ⌘⇧4 for screenshots
  • Brings up a picker aperture to replace the mouse
  • On a single click, the hex code is copied to the clipboard
  • Create other keyboard shortcuts for copying other color representations
  • Then the user can simply paste the code wherever they need to
  • This would be a great improvement over the native powerful, yet clumbersome Digital Color Meter

The Everything Exchange

  • Everything has a value and can be traded on an exchange
  • Each asset's value is determined by the market as expected
  • Community members can propose and govern new assets to be added
  • Needs to be done using a decentralised architecture to be trustworthy
  • Should this include traditional stocks, ETFs, etc?

Unoriginal Ideas

A list of ideas I though were original but actually already existed. These likely serve you no purpose.

Explorable JSON Pastebin - Pastebin and JSON Editor

  • Paste JSON code and store it just like with pastebin.com
  • Each property is collapsed by default but can be expanded
  • Things like strings of HTML can be rendered
  • Arrays can be analysed to provide schemas

VSCode in the cloud (SaaS) - CodeSandbox

  • It's already written in Javascript using Electron
  • Only needs settings to be synced and access to a file server (or possibly just GitHub repos)

Project Boilerplate Generator - Yeoman

  • Allows the user to kickstart their projects
  • Configure tools such as webpack graphically
  • Does not require learning of new project's configuration files
