People tend to come up with - mostly useless - ideas. Instead of letting these ideas occupy a mind of mine, I scribe them in this repository.

Rock-paper-scissors

• mobile
• multiplayer (both online and offline)
• rankings, tournaments
• statistics
• possibility of playing many games at the same time

DelayFS

• provides files with a configurable (including random) delay
• might be useful for testing (e.g. testing responsiveness of user interface)
• possible usage: delayfs /tmp/files /tmp/delayed_files

TodoFS

• tasks as directories
• mark done tasks using a starting dot in the name of a directory (rm would rename in this case)
• not-directories are regular files which are attachments to the task
• related idea: filesystem for Wunderlist or similar todo service

Linkbin

• one-user web application to store URLs
• title + (URL xor text)
• use Google Authenticator or similar one-time password system

Reading assistant

• keep a list of known words (by a user)
• find new words in a given text and let a user mark them as known or unknown (or use a scale: "I know a definition", "I intuitively understand", "I've seen this word", "It's completely new")
• generate flashcards with new words for a given text

Tinder for food

• keep a list of ingredients in a house
• compare available dishes with a recipes database
• show possible dishes (sorted by calories or overall "quality" of a dish)

Videos queue manager

Rationale: I follow some YouTube channels; I watch some TV series. I use tools to download them automatically. What I need is an app which could provide separated queues of videos to watch.

• possibility of sorting by date/length/popularity/custom function
• grouping multiple sources into one queue (possible queue names: "algorithms", "funny cats", "new music in the feed")
• find video with video length ≤ X (and search only in the first positions of the queues)
  • rationale: I often have got X minutes of free time and want to watch full video
• related to previous two points: mark a queue as with important order or not
• optionally: in case of TV series or movies, provide IMDb link (or event a description/rating in the UI!)

Quick file uploader

• small tool to upload given file (or screenshot, or clipboard) to a server
• on success it prints (or copies to clipbaord) direct access URL

Taskwarrior notifications

• notifies about (almost) overdue tasks
• generate PDF with tasks for a given day
