Shhhh: The Phone App

I have my phone in silent mode most of the day, and I usually forget to turn the ringer on when I leave work, and I miss a lot of calls. Additionally, on the weekends when the ringer is on, I will forgot to silence it in places where it is rude to have a loud ringer go off...


APP IDEA:  You search street address data for churches, movie theaters, libraries, etc. and create a database of restricted areas.  The app automatically puts your phone in silent mode when you enter a restricted zone,  then reverts back to your settings when you leave.  


A great, easy to use feature for a free app.  If they want to upgrade to a $.99 app, they can get the ability to add custom areas and determine the phone settings for each.

Scratch IDE

Picture
My 10 year old daughter has been learning to program using Scratch, a graphical programming environment developed for kids in the MIT Media Lab.


It's a great sandbox to learn programming in because it represents all the core concepts of programming, but you don't have to compile code or deal with syntax issues.


Learning a new programming language is always frustrating because of the necessary syntax.  You know how to program, but do you put a colon here? a semicolon there?  etc...


What if you have a similar tool, but instead of creating a scratch program, you  selected the programming language to output, and it spit out your code formatted correctly in whatever language you wanted (java, c, php, javascript, actionscript, c#, perl, etc)  Then all you would need to know is how to program.

Crowd funding for WordPress

Create a plugin for WordPress that allows users to create and manage a crowd funding campaign.

Why pay 5% to Kickstarter and 5% to Amazon when you could pay a flat $50 for the plug-in and 3.75% to paypal. 

Have all the basic crowd funding features. 

Unlike Kickstarter and indiegogo, you get paid upfront whether their campaign is successful or not.
