What Utility or Program Do You Need?
 

Tell me what you want, and if I think it's marketable, I'll code it. If that happens, you get a free copy with lifetime updates.

Black hat, white hat, grey hat .. it doesn't matter.

I'm ready for the next project. I live for this. :thumbsup

I dont need anything... But I'll happily give you a bump :)

I need a decent DHTML popup box plugin for Wordpress that will actually work in firefox... well, all browsers actually... but super popup will not work in FF for some reason :helpme

I need a cash machine.

A donkey that shits gold coins.

I can make your dream come true

a program that you can enter a URL or URLs that will search for all the relevant keywords and long tail keywords that send traffic to the domains entered, their referral URLs, anchor text and their competitiveness. Export to excel or CSV with the ability to sort before export by referring URLs, strength of keyword etc Also give it the ability to generate a keyword and long tail keyword list by entering a specific niche so it could search all relevant results with that keyword and list more that is relevant to that niche with the ability to filter out none adult results if desired

check boxes beside the results to remove unwanted/undesirable items prior to export

doesn't wordtracker.com do most of that?

I know it does some of that not sure about all. The problem I have with WT is that they offer a few different programs to do what people want with which can be expensive and I know the program I was looking at was like $69 a month, well fuck that I aint spending $69 a month for things I can do with several free services. an inexpensive program with a one time fee and maybe add ons that come later as needed would be very nice :)

What free services offer what WT does? I spend 70 bucks a month on it. Just with adwords it pays for itself in a week. Let alone all the other stuff. But if there are free services that offer the same, I'd be happy NOT to spend the 70!

there are none that offer it in one location... none that I know of. But there are several free service out there that if you combine them and do a LOT of work will come close to WT. Don't mistake what I said as being a criticism of what WT offers. I criticize the cost because I feel it is too high. I would love to have a program that did what WT does with a one time fee instead of a monthly recurring one.... you wouldn't?

A better desktop stats system that will pull in affiliate accounts, partner accounts, and ccbill admin accounts, and display beautiful graphs and stats. At the very least, a better system for CCbill stats. I loath logging into CCbill to check my stats, and while Sliiing looks AWESOME, I would prefer to own it and have it on my desktop, not on a server that is not mine.

Do you want to share the list?

I didn't, nor do I care if you criticize them or not! :)

Of course I would, I was just checking as your feature list seemed to be what WT already does. I guess you could have written "copy WT but make it cheaper".

I could have, but I am not sure if WT offers all the things I mentioned :thumbsup

I am sure I have one or two others that I have used I just cannot remember off the top of my head

I'm not sure that'd have broad enough appeal (read: enough people willing to pay for it) for me to tackle it. And even if I did, someone would probably just reverse-engineer it and release it for free.


Interesting. What price point would make this viable for you? You'd spend $1,680 over two years on it with the current pricing, so what price would a one-time fee be?


I don't currently focus on desktop software, but if that changes, I'd be happy to look at this. The problem that I see here is that people are moving more toward working "in the cloud" on a browser, and desktop software may be phasing out even more than it already is.

A desktop app can interface with the server as most do. It makes it even more flexible if data is on the "cloud".

There is no need for a browser and has more flexibility in displaying and working with the data. In some cases it is also more convenient

You could easily create something that utilizes a web service and have it for browser and even desktop although might be a pain in the ass with the extra work of building the desktop app, but it would be easy to integrate the data also to mobile.

You have mentioned api's in the past which are essentially web services and you can easily integrate that into desktop or mobile apps (not that you would want to but just an example)

I think what DWB said is a good idea and you could architect in such a way where it can be online based but also can fit into desktop or mobile applications.

If you set up a proper web service data is more easily accessible where you can do whatever you want with it

I'm interested in how it has more flexibility in working with the data. Any elaboration available?

Well I guess I meant from a presentation perspective, but to be honest I didn't really put much thought into other reasons. I was really talking about web services in general.

The idea of flexibility of data. Basically if you did choose to do that idea or whatever idea and you set it up a certain way you can easily have it work with many different things or even open it up for someone to build into their own custom application, the options are endless. You posted about api's/web services in other threads, this is really just reiterating that point from the perspective of building desktop or mobile apps. It just another option.

While DWB might like a desktop app and find that more convenient, some don't

a programme that crops images in the same way TGP scripts do. JMBsoft used to do one but it no longer works :(

I gotcha now; I think that the browser environment provides the same flexibility, personally, and all devices have a browser -- not all devices have a desktop capable of running whatever executable I make. It seems like a step backwards to make a desktop app, personally.


This isn't commercially available?

The JMBsoft one is dead and i know of no other that crops in the same way as TGP scripts do but as a standalone.

Meaning, crops the action into a thumb? Face detection, etc? This can be done in a standalone, sure. Any interest in this from others?

I think you are right in general, but if you did create something that could have use or preference to someone in a desktop form. You could take the data and work with it and then synchronize back with the server which would have positive performance aspects.

I used to do work for a company that used salesforce and they just couldn't stand how slow and clunky it was because of it being web based. I don't know if salesforce has improved or changed, but I've heard many call it a pos because of that.

you could probably write a desktop app as an add-on to it as an extra way to monetize or maybe even offer it as an option to expand interest.. I think with mobile its a different story.

I think depending on the purpose of the application a native mobile app can be much more usable then a website.

This is a little silly because I'm talking about a fictitious application, but I guess it's all just some food for thought really

You know ... now that we're brainstorming, there might be a market for providing desktop-app skins for common applications. Download the databases, do your work offline, then upload it back to the live server. Hmm!

lol run with it my friend. I'm curious to hear what you come up with

Yeah. Probably won't be what I *start* with, but a possibility for the future without a doubt.

The project I began for mass-market consumption is being documented over at BHA. If you don't know what that is, contact me for an invite and I'd be happy to get you in.

A prog that is a htlm webpage editor for mobile phones.

A prog that makes simple phone aps.

I would never hire or TRUST a programmer that doesn't know how to code his own personal page.

CODE RESPONSIBLY.

Pairiod.

I can't begin to imagine what this means .. but I'm still patiently waiting for you to post your fictitious checks. If you want to borrow my copy of Photoshop, just let me know.

Amusingly, your post was of more value than the one below it. How often can we say THAT, eh?

sent you an icq :)

Firing up ICQ now. Was just making someone's life difficult, but now I'm done, haha.

Now that I am not 100% sure. I think a top end of $200 with the addition of some plugins available in the future to enhance and broaden what the software does would be something that would interest me quite a bit

Valid point.

It could be built so it runs from the users server. I just don't like it on a server I don't have control of, and logging into ccbill and getting stats can be painfully slow.

Copy of Freeones... haha

something that gathers stats and does not cost anything

That'd make it viable for me. If other people would be willing to pay, it'd be a better sign.


Sure, but then it limits the market a bit to people who are A) smart enough to install it, and B) people who would take the time to do that. In this industry? That might be 5 people.


Ha! I love them too much to rip them off. But software similar to theirs that adds some "secret sauce" or a twist .. then I'd be interested. Not copying, but extending .. that'd be okay. And I'd want to give a copy to FreeOnes at the end.


How would I make money from that? Ads?

Wordpress search and replace apps. Specifically WP tubes with dead sponsors, broken links, links being redirected by the owner of dead programs.
