Great ideas

(Feel free to ignore these, they are with few exceptions awful.)

  1. A voting system for playing music at a party (decent hackathon idea from 2/24).
  2. NSFW video game without malware (really awful idea from NC state friend).
  3. A Java library letting you do absurb things with Java Reflection, such as running a random static method (ridiculous idea, but would be cool to get experience making a library, using gradle, learning an API, etc).
  4. A universal music listener, like YouTube + Spotify + Apple Music + Soundcloud (decent idea).
  5. A tool that uses the laptop's camera to follow a pencil to generate notes automatically on the computer (decent idea but difficult to implement, also not necessarily more useful than CamScanner).
  6. Tarheelinder (name pending). A dating site for UNC students (not a great idea, dating sites already exist and have location settings).
  7. A hub for all UNC classes, with links to GroupMes, syllabuses, Piazza, information of some sort (decent idea, but hard to get people roped into it, and hard to make ofc).
  8. A tool for distributing free guest meal swipes. May be hard to get this off the ground without compensation (great idea, execution may be difficult).
  9. ODE solver shard (implementing Euler's method and other methods) written in Crystal (just for me unless Anand is particuarly interested).
  10. Chess in a language we (or I) want to learn (probably Python), possibly using an API for the AI (not original but not an awful idea).
  11. An extension that takes a a coursicle schedule and enrolls from ConnectCarolina (good idea, too hard to implement).
  12. A cardinal voting (or "rating voting") system to vote over these ideas. Basically you can rate each idea from 1 to 5 (or to any number you want) and it will get each ballot and produce a ranked result. This would include a ballot configuration (in YAML/XML/JSON/whatnot) and ballots that people could put into a folder, and maybe a GUI-based voting system, so you don't have to make the ballots from scratch (a decent idea).
  13. Use Tensor Flow to predict last names (lame idea, you can already look this up).
  14. Firefox extension to hide Discord servers so you can just see DMs (for productivity reasons) (okay idea I suppose).
  15. Study for our classes instead of goofing off (the only great idea on this list).
