It has been a while since I've made something just for fun. I'd like to make a Wordpress plugin that people actually need and use and giving it away for free. Programming is more fun when it's not done for just money.

Any ideas? I've been searching Google for ideas on something to make but I'm yet to come up with something...

The most interesting idea(s) I'll make.. now is your chance for free plugins.
 


the beauty of wp is taking any php script and turning it into a plugin takes minimal effort to convert....

that being said... most folks use wordpress because they don't know anything about coding + like the fact they can one click install a plugin for stuff...

how about a plugin that uses the wordnet database to auto-generate spintax ready content? you'd be essentially making a plugin of the best spinner (just not so fancy)....
 
I love wordpress + thesis.

Having said that, a good business directory plugin would be a god send. I've never been able to find one that does exactly what I want it to do.
 
Create an auto blog plugin that works with the best spinner = win

Pulls news, spins it, and then posts it.

;D

spins it into total fucking shit, and gets your blog banned, yeah, smart move.

you've gotta be a TOTAL absolute noob to think 'thebestspinner' autoreplace function generates anything but hilarious grammar fuckups.
 
Something standalone that reviewed a post made whether by hand or automated (feedwordpress) and pulled a flickr image and stored locally. Options for Creative commons or not.

alt tag it with keywords. thumbnail it if it was too big.
 
I reckon a WP directory plugin with csv import would be a great one to do.

I've code-bashed several directory plugins to get them to do what I want to do,
but I end up with a lot of hard-coded bits in there, which isn't nice looking, but works.
 
I'd like to see a plug in that allows you to place a sidebar widget that pulls a very targeted YouTube video right into the sidebar. I know there are some that attempt this, but they never pull videos that are worth a shit.

Like if I have an Apple review site, on the iPad page, I want sidebar vids that show someone doing a demo of the iPad...not retards shooting a .50 cal round through it. Get what I'm after here.

Something like that would be nice.
 
The multi-site sounds fun and very useful. It's between that and the business directory.

I'm going to save all of these ideas and I might just do a one at a time just for fun. I'd love to give back to the open-source wordpress community.

TBS is probably my most valuable little tool, how dare you talk down about it! I've killed people for less.
 
A geo currency converter so if I am looking at property in USA and live in Europe price auto changes to Euro and vice versa.
 
- Business Directory with PayPal payments for Premium Listings

- Autoblog plugin + Automatic Spinner WOULD be a great idea too!
