Hey, how do you guys come up with ideas for new programs? I'm
going nuts trying to figure out what type of application I should

I wish I had your problem ;-) I come up with ideas for new apps
several times a week. I'm going nuts trying to figure out how I'll
ever find time to implement them without dozens of developers!

Hi Graham,
care to share some of them? I'm sure lots of people like the OP and
myself, who are not as prolific in coming up with ideas as you are,
would be happy to take a shot at some of your ideas.

Well, most of them reflect two things: a) my interests and b) the lack
of certain categories of affordable software on the Mac.
So these aren't necessarily original ideas, but I wish there were:
a) really good CAD software that was in a hobbyists price-range but
was of professional quality and a true OSX app, not a crappy port or
half-baked shareware effort
b) ditto PCB design software
c) ditto electronic simulation software (both digital and analogue)
d) ditto mechanical/kinematics design and simulation software
In recent years the quality of shareware or low-cost apps in certain
sectors such as drawing and painting has improved dramatically. I'd
like to see the same ethos spread to some of these other areas, but of
course such apps are far from trivial.
On d) if anyone can point me to a decent open-source kinematics
library I'm all ears...
