Seeking ideas for new Ruby projects...

From: Hal Fulton <rubyhacker@...>
Date: 2013-04-09 20:12:08 UTC
List: ruby-talk #406655
I have a bad habit of skipping from one project to another. Actually, many
developers I know have the same habit, but I may be worse than most.

I am trying to think of an idea that
  - is interesting to me
  - is potentially useful
  - might attract the interest of other developers.

Some of my rough ideas are:

1. A todo-list manager (yes, yet another one) with emphasis on extreme
extensibility (and with certain optional features that I have never seen
all in one place)

2. An old-fashioned text formatter that takes plain text and produces a
document. Ruby code may be embedded in it. Adapters permit exporting
as HTML, as an ODT, as a PDF, as a Word doc, as XML/RSS/Atom, and
so on.

3. An embedded mini-language for regular expressions that permits us to
write really complex regular expressions "more as if they were programs"

4. A graphics DSL on top of ImageMagick (like a sophisticated layer on top
of RMagick)

5. A "better, more powerful" Ruby interface for Evernote. (The library I
have seen is a fairly "thin" wrapper, too thin for my tastes.)

6. A Ruby interface for LibreOffice (as I mentioned in another email). I
don't know what's involved in this.

7. A different/better ORM. My personal favorite is Sequel, but I have at
times longed for one that was "inside out" from ActiveRecord. At one time,
Ezra Zygmuntowicz and I brainstormed this idea a little, calling it
PassiveRecord (a name that has since been taken, I think).

8. I'm a big believer in dev tools. Anything that measures or diagrams
Ruby code, especially large systems, is interesting to me.

9. A mockup of what "better reflection" might look like in Ruby (think Ruby
2.2 or later). I have some notes and ideas here.

10. A web app (gasp!) for authors (print and web). I believe enough in
the commercial possibilities of this that I won't specify details here.
BTW - the "gasp" is because I normally don't like web coding in general,
and I'm a little disappointed by the giant chunk of time and energy in our
profession that is devoted to it. And I don't like being referred to as a
"backend" developer. Fifteen years ago, essentially ALL computer science
was "backend."  Recruiters who think the web is the entire universe can,
well, kiss my backend. End of micro-rant. :)

Comments are welcome... *especially* if you are interested in helping. :)

Cheers,
Hal
