Thread: Anybody here write Apps?

Sure I put this in the Lounge.. Thanks for moving it to the relevant place anyway whichever mod did....

sorry, was supposed to be a red....

^ All feedback is welcome.

SENT UNDER PLAIN RAPPER

when you delve into the packet you'll be able to pull up a stool

I was just reading the other day about a bloke in Oz that is making a motza from some app.
He can't write any code, so he outsourced the writing to China or India through an outsourcing website.

I could think of loads of ideas for Apps if I could be arsed actually thinking for 5 minutes... The money should go to the writers of them.

Maybe too late for the app rush now - I bought a few domain names after the horse had bolted... ShopZimbabwe.com was one of them.

never made a cent.

My mate made a few grand out of SportEngland.com though.

Remember the user Udon? (now deceased)

TeakDoor.com - The Thailand Forum - View Profile: Udon


He had made quite a lot of money from buying up domains early in the days of the internet and then reselling. (so he said, anyway)

I did a bit of PHP programming for him at one stage while I was "retired"..

Anyway, the conversation below details how the app idea came about. Interested parties should show their interest here along with any general criticism/feedback...



Me: who is processing...barry the tawt?

Scott: no. A polish guy called maciej

Me: or Lewis the ckrip?

Scott: magic. Lewis the what?

Me: magic?.. thought he worked for us?

Scott: polish boy with glasses. Big boy

Me: last job I was on I was told something was fixed by magic... but they meant that guy you have there. Must be agency then

Scott:he is good. He has fixed everything that barry the twat and lewis the rocker did. They had done something wrong in the setup

Me: aye - heard he was a bit of a boffin computer whizz type

Scott:so all of the work had to be reprocessed

Me: writes apps and stuff I think


Scott: we should write apps. Make some money from it. Bowel movement logger

Me: yeah - poop counter

Scott: takes a note of what time of day you shit. Can take a pic

Me: 'log logger'

Scott: little table so you can record weights and dimensions

Me: 'log your logs'

Scott:consistency. Upload your shit. Fires a pic onto the internet

Me: have to integrate it to facebook

Scott: yep. and twitter. Show everyone. Some of mine i would like to show to people. They are beauties sometimes. Big fuckers loaded with sweetcorn

Me: i do dead long ones sometimes with the one big push

Scott: some of them are not worth showing

Me:rabbit droppings

Scott:shoelaces

Me:bowl splatterers should rate high

Scott:yeah

Me:angle of spread counts

Scott: points for devastation. Crop spraying

Me: ask magic to write it. Log your logs by magic

Scott: i might. itunes wouldnt have it though. They dont like things like that. A bloke on here came up with an app.Got a company to write it. Its called beer ping. If you are in a pub you send out a notification and other people can then join you. Links to facebook and all that. Its being reviewed and they knocked him back for something

Me: you can do that anyway can't you - foursquare and stuff

Scott: Probably knocked it back because you cant take pictures of your shits

Me: what about 'poop ping'. Could combine the 2 apps

Scott: good idea. Hows about beer shits. Take pics of your hangover dumps. That would be immense

Me: 'poop ping' has a nice ring. Invite your mates over to see your poop in real life

Scott:automatically update your FB status with "im shitting" and an easting and northing


So that is the idea at birth... any takers?

Has a nice ring to it.....

As with most app ideas, someone has beaten you to it.

^ Oh poop... Back to the drawing board.

what people don't know, is that 99% of apps are crap and not make any money at all. Only the top 100 have any good income and their dev can make a living off them.

even in the top 100, the income distribution is completely asymptotic.

I had an excellent idea for an app, but I was drinking and didn't write it down and now all I can remember is that it was an excellent idea for an app.
It would have been excellent.
Let that be a lesson.
