I'm sure all of us have had trouble thinking of new project ideas before. This thread is meant to solve that (or at least give inspiration)!
Thought of a neat idea, but don't want to get off track of your current project? Have a cool idea but it's way out of your league? Post them all here.
Need ideas? Try to be as specific as possible, including things such as: programming experience, what kind of projects you have worked on, what you want to work on, a link to your github profile, etc.
I have a few ideas:
- A program that register for URI schemes in Windows and let's you open a specific one with one click, or lets you collect a bunch of URIs (for example by clicking links in an email) and lets you open them all with ones click once you're done. A bit like Android's intents I suppose.
Benefit: Opening multiple links from an email without losing focus. Previewing links opened by other applications.
Difficulties: This probably requires some registry interactions or Windows API calls. Reading out existing available applications may be tricky but is possible as far as I know.
- An emoji keyboard: A keyboard shortcut opens a configurable overview of strings centrered around the mouse cursor, where right-clicking queues them up and left-clicking closes and window and types the queue-up ones and the one that was left-clicked. [I]Esc[/I] or closing the window cancels the actions.
Alternative mode: Open centred over current window. Bonus points: Allow keyboard selection using arrow keys, wasd, and ijkl (or configurable with multiple alternatives).
Benefit: Quick access to annoying and not so annoying smileys and symbols, for use in Steam, Twitter, etc.
Difficulties: The main hurdle here is correctly printing Unicode into the active window. This may require a short delay and likely converting everything into Windows' wide char Unicode abstrusion (if your programming environment of choice isn't in on the madness already).
I need art direction for a loose light hearted computer cyber world.
Post pictures please.
