Software you wish you had that doesn't exist (yet)
Hey,
I'm a little stripped on cash (and I can't get a summer job because school is about to start ) and figgured that I should write some shareware and try my luck at selling it. I've spent a long time thinking about this but havn't been able to come up with any decent ideas for a useful app that doesn't exist yet. So my question, is there any types of software that you wish there was but doesn't exist yet? Something that would make a common every-day (computer related task) much easier?
Any sugguestions would be greatly appriciated
Thanks,

I don't think a free control panel with help with his financial needs.

Well, I do windows stuff... mostly things with the win32 api, winsock programming, etc.. But I don't really have the time for a moderate or large project

Will this be a free app to the person who gives you the idea? If So, there is something I've had it mind and therotically you make make $$ off.. it already exists, but is too expensive and very simple.

Many Hosts use PhpLive as a way to allow guests to talk toa sales/support rep. via the website. However, the operator has to continue to keep the window open in IE.. now phplivesuppor offers a program for $65 that will let you make that IE window seperate and that you can minmize to the taskbar.
I'd like to see a cheaper version, or even free version of that.

Now _that_ is something I think I might be able to do
If I do end up coding it, I'll make sure you get a free copy[COLOR=dark-blue]Matt Carpenter[/COLOR]

Verohost has a good idea not something new and unheard of but rather something the same just 1/3 of the price. For example make something like cpanel but charge a one time fee no long licences maybe like $25 or something but it has to be as good, or something like verohost said a phplivesupport thing but instead of $65 maybe $25 $30.
And I have something thats there but not yet perfected. Make a software program that comes with graphics and all kinda like the thing monster template has where if you don't know jacksh** about html and webpages you have an engine and you can throw things together but instead of like $100 - who knows how much, make it like $45. Maybe a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver but for $50. Well theres my ideas hope you use one so I can get some free copys of them
