Let me build you a web app/service!

So, according to my introduction, one of my goals for this project is to build a web app or service to demonstrate my skillset in that area. Unfortunately, it's turns out my idea for a web app has already been done, and is quite well-known (on the plus side, I now understand what 4Chan is). At the moment, I'm drawing blanks about what I should build, so I thought perhaps I could crowdsource that job.

So if you have an idea for a web app or service, but not the time or skills to get it started, or if you would simply like to collaborate with someone on it, post a comment describing your idea.

In general, I'm game for pretty much anything, as I'm confident I can learn whatever I need to. Some general parameters though:

  • It's going to be in Python, built on Pyramid, using SQLAlchemy for models
  • I will try to strip the idea to it's core, and leave others to make it full-featured
  • I will try to make an appealing and usable UI, but again, it will be pretty barebones
  • I'm going to blog about it, host it in github and make the code viewable by everyone
  • If you want to collaborate:
    • I'm open to hosting it elsewhere, as long as it's publicly accessible
    • I will be a stickler in design discussion and code reviews

Finally, I will happily put it under any license you want and grant you and copyright or whatnot, as long as it doesn't prevent me from achieving my objectives vis-a-vis skill demonstration.
