Post a possibly good app idea that you have no intention of doing yourself.

#1
At school we often had to draw class diagrams, basically boxes containing some text, with arrows pointing to other boxes. The free tool we were using for this was made with Java, and would often be very buggy and was generally hated. I couldn't really find anything I liked and ended up making the diagrams in Gimp, not fun. I was really pining for a small perhaps Flash-based web tool that would let me make diagrams and download as PDF.

This is great, got to email the teachers about this.

Is it free forever, or free to try? When I need to diagram quickly, I use UMLet. But somehow I suspect that UMLet is the one he's complaining about.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What kind of 'karma exchange'?

A full-on reputational economy.

what about acting as gatekeeper for invite-only or beta sites, prioritizing invite distribution by a global karma factor?

or is that too eugenic?

fwiw, perfectlygoodideas.com is available right now. perhaps someone could use the uclassify api to classify & cluster similar ideas & recommend partnerships. no idea how well it would work, but it might be worth a an hour or two on a weekend to find out. im just thinking out loud here :)
