LimeBits open-source project ideas
Here are some ideas for open-source projects that are really cool and doable by members of the LimeBits community.
Please post on the
LimeBits forum if you're interested in any of them.
Or suggest your own ideas!
- Personal "calling card" scripts — creative, showoff, viral. Show off your JavaScript chops — in a small signature with big tricks. Hovering the cursor over your signature produces amazing, interactive results. Place it on your websites, and send it with your emails.
- LimeBits onramp/wizard. Help out the LimeBits user community by creating step-by-step tutorials and walkthrus. Learn and teach at the same time.
- Find interesting open-source JS apps and import/upgrade them for LimeBits. Thousands of JavaScript apps are scattered across the web. Find apps you like, with appropriate open-source license terms. Put them straight into LimeBits. Upgrade them by adding state storage with LimeBits WebDAV.
- 3rd-party plugins: FaceBook, MySpace, eBay, etc. Some websites let you create apps, plug them into your profile, and make them available to all users. Make your own apps, and enhance them with JavaScript and LimeBits state storage.
- Video/music media playlist/player/scrapbook. LimeBits has an easy way to put anything on your webpage. It's called ScrapBook. Use it to embed a music or video player into your site. Create supporting apps for it, like a sharable playlist.
- Alpha testing or bug finding. Help the LimeBits user community by testing prereleases and by finding bugs after release.
