Currently, I am stuck in a long-term project and really had the desire to build and finish a small app - I guess some of you can relate.
So this weekend, I built Wishminer, a little tool which searches social media for app ideas that people wish for. I hope it can be helpful to some of you. It's fairly basic and nowhere close to perfect, but I would appreciate your advice on how to improve it.
1) clustering similar ideas, for example when I looked at it there were multiple about finding friends. Related, you could build an reddit-style ranking instead of a purely temporal one
2) if you want to turn it into a product, maybe a way to share “hey, this is exactly my app”... saw some similar comments here. Probably you’ll have to work on anti-spam too :)
Good luck, great project so far!
2) Could potentially also be helpful as email alerts, so that an app maker gets notified when someone wishes for his app so that he can reach out on Twitter. Commenting on Wishminer itself will probably not be seen by the 'wisher'.
