Has anyone found a good source of ideas for applications? I have several of my own, but they are usually too ambitious or I'm not the target market for the application and so I never end up finishing the project.

The My Dream App forums have some good ideas. But I'm curious if there are other, better, sites for finding out what Mac users are interested in.

Thanks.

Stay with the basic needs: communication, video, disc burning, music, digital photos.

There is still room for improvement. Those iLife applications aren't that good. iPhoto is simply a ridiculous app, iDVD (couldn't get it to work) sends those, who can actually burn a DVD, through loops, as they may not play on a DVD player. It doesn't have to have great themes or the like: just reliable disc burning.

How about a simple app to create your own DVD and CD covers?

An app to create your personal stationary. Simple things, and close to the needs.

I looked at your website, and while it looks interesting, people usually don't cook or mix drinks next to their computer (I try to keep food and computing apart as far as possible).

Veltliner,

Thanks for the feedback, I'll investigate those ideas.

As far as the "My Dream App" site, it's not actually mine, that's just what it's called. I couldn't believe a cooking application won first place as that is the last place I'd use my computer.

Thanks again,
Sean

I would like an API that gained traction for a system wide software update for all third party applications and utilities.

My idea? Mustache Maker. Feed your own photo, or choose from famous people or works of art - this program has an easy to use interface to allow you to place the mustache of your choice, from a library of thousands of examples, sorted by category - pencil thin, daliesque, bushy - you choose, this app makes it easy to produce professional output - your subject, with the mustache of your choice.
