General App Ideas

Parking app like that already exists. Just up to each city to implement.

An online social dancing app.

Is there any reason you quoted

an android siddur as good as the iphone one

?

Do you wanna use it to dance after Kidush Levana?

I have spent the last year building an AWESOME app but since I have a full time occupation, and since the app has gotten to the point where technical skills beyond my own are needed, I sort of hit a dead end. I do have a basic working web app already.

PM for more info.

Or how about an app which automatically texts your significant other at random times during the day letting them know that you're thinking of them, but random enough that they won't realize that it's automated.

Easy enough to make with Tasker, and plenty of guides available online to make exactly that.
You can even find a guide to show you how to use Tasker to text your significant other that you are home rather than ch'v saying "Honey, I'm home"

I know that. I'm just too lazy to code it, so if he's offering, I'll take it.

Haha that's great!

To those saying "I'm not giving him my idea, I'll save it until I can make money off it": Many other people have thought of your idea already. Your idea may have already been built many times at the thousands of Hackathons around the world, or by some bored developer somewhere. Ideas are cheap. It's all about execution. If you share you idea with a DansDeal member and he/she builds it and it's succesful, there's a good chance they'll give you some credit for it, maybe even financially. That's the nature of this community.

No. I think it was a great idea. Been rattling around my head for some time.

...do you honestly think that the idea is something so brilliant and exclusive, that only you could think of it??
I think everyone who has ever paid a meter in the last 5 years have thought of something like that. And whadya know - there are dozens of such apps in operation!
Here's just one - http://vancouver.ca/streets-transportation/pay-for-parking.aspx

How about a MyZmanim app? I know there's already a zmanim app, but they always differ by like 30 seconds. Even better if it can read your location and elevation when in a plane and calculate the zmanim.

Not as much as app as a general phone idea, all phones should double as small scales to weight letters and the like...

And fold laundry. And vacuum.

And sort my receipts. Life was much simpler back when I only had 1 credit card

come on a scale is a legit thing a phone could do

Not with an app, though
The hardware would need to be able to do that. I wonder how long 'til they build phones with that capability...

[sam123]

An android app for SellerCentral.Amazon.com would become very popular.

[ushdadude]

an android at that lets you customize every sound including missed calls.

A free vestos app for android according to litvish minhagim.

A free vestos app for android according to litvish minhagim.

Good idea but should take into account all possible vestos according to all shitos.
And it also must be very reliable.
It can notify you "today is a vest according to the xyz, you can opt to ignore/change settings". There too many shittos and variables to have an app "for litvaks".

You can have it in the settings to check off which ones you follow and which you don't, like the Chabad one.
