- Ive recently started to learn app development and Ive written 4 apps in the last 4 days! (It is THAT easy!)
Going with the RIM's slogan tools not toys, I was wondering what tools people would like on their PlayBook. The criteria that I have is that it has to be something that is simple - the apps that I may or may not make will be ugly - (Im just using this as an exercise so I do not intend on making them beautiful but I intend of fulfilling the function.) So send me your ideas - note dont share your ideas if you're afraid of someone stealing it.
Ps Sorry Im not making skype or netflix...
PPS Im looking for 'day' projects... glorified fart apps that will enhance /ease something simple you may do daily that would be easier with technology. An idea would be something like a flashing detour sign (for construction workers to use) <- Im sure this is already out there If not im going to do this one tonight and publish itLast edited by ignites; 04-06-12 at 02:52 PM.

- Im doing simple stuff using HTML5/javascript.. I can move on to more complicated stuff if the need arises. Once again, this is jsut for fun / to learn. If you share your ideas here someone else may pick it up and run with it... Or I may twist it. I just found a fwe things Ive been donig manually can be done into 1 feature 'dumb' apps using html5/javascript combination. Ive worked with Java/C and other languages before (like a few years back.. just picking up where I left off since I have a bit of free time now)Chaddface likes this.04-06-12 02:40 PMLike 1
- How about a time clock app. I would love to have a nice app that tracks clock in and out times as well as showing total weekly hours per employee with another value to show the total man hours per week amongst all employees.
I'm in the middle of moving a small business into 2012 and they are liking the playbook.04-06-12 04:46 PMLike 0 - How about a time clock app. I would love to have a nice app that tracks clock in and out times as well as showing total weekly hours per employee with another value to show the total man hours per week amongst all employees.

- How about an app for timing parts on conferences or shows or events, show total time elapsed, how far is the schedule ahead or behind.
So basically you have a time limit for each major segment, start times etc, and then how long each little part or speech or presentation is, and it's displayed visually. Each of those segments make up a day or even a multi-day program, so you can see where you may need to make up time etc.
It would be very useful for keeping events or weddings on schedule.04-06-12 11:05 PMLike 0 - How about an app for timing parts on conferences or shows or events, show total time elapsed, how far is the schedule ahead or behind.

Let everyone log time on it so I can look over it all and write out their weekly checks. But I'm sure they would like a copy to keep track of time for individual projects. Some of the guys collect extra pay on certain projects.04-07-12 05:15 PMLike 0
- To take the time clock a step further, it could also be used by freelance people who need to bill various hours to specific clients. Add a "notes" field and you have a customized time tracker with a detailed project/job explanation. It could make billing easier, particularly if the data could be exported.04-07-12 05:55 PMLike 0
