A question for Meetup!
I am in a code camp and rapidly approaching two capstone milestones in the curriculum. The camp focuses on React / JavaScript.
I would really like to do a project that had a benefit to a local business, person, and/or charity. Some ideas I have come up
with are:
1.) Yet Another Triva (flashcard) App - While I would have fun making this, it's been done 8 billion times
2.) A non linear pipe-able math note taking app thing (see draft user-stories here: https://github.com/joelcorey/mathnote)
3.) Salem, Oregon does not have a bus app. This is extremely lame and un-acceptable for any modern city.
4.) Your idea here.
I know this probably isn't what is expected in a Meetup discussion area, so I apologize if I am breaking any rules.
Also, thank you for taking the time to read this.

4.) Job search tracker that automatically produces the information that offices like Worksource and SNAP need. Lots of people have trouble 1] keeping track of their job search (there are some apps out there for that) and 2] producing the proof that the agencies need in order to allow people to get the benefits that pay bills and feed their families while they're finding a new job.

5.) meal planning system that dovetails with grocery orders. Meal planning is mostly a calendar that you schedule food on. Many major grocery stores now offer a system where you can transmit a list of what you need to buy and they'll get it all ready for you, electronically charge you and then you just pick it up. Use the calendar to figure out what you'll eat, from that generate a grocery list, then press a button
to send the list to Fred Meyer and pay for it. Who would this benefit? Anyone who has ever grabbed fast food because they hadn't planned for dinner or because they didn't have time to shop for food.
