What are some programs you wish existed?

I feel like starting a big project, or maybe taking over an abandoned one if it's interesting enough.

TeamViewer without the botnet

A browser extension that somehow automatically closed your porn tab/incognito window if it detected your door opened. I supposed that could be done a few ways, by having it listen for the sound of your door opening (which you'd have to give it a sound sample of to "train" it for your specific door), or by using a camera. The sound way would obviously be more convenient.

The benefit of team viewer is it works through NAT, which requires either a centralised server or one side to not be behind a stateful firewall or have ports forwarded.

There are already products that take the non centralised approach, but it comes with the caveats above.
>>
>>54905403
We just use Cisco Meraki at work now - you install a client on the end user's machine which allows you to hop onto it whenever it is online, even if it isn't logged on. As it runs as a service UAC is never an issue. The only downside is it is a pretty hardcore botnet, through the Meraki management page you can see a list of all your clients, with their IP addresses and uptimes, all put on a map so you can see where they are. You can also screenshot their machines at any time to see what they are up to without them even realising .

We have probably 80+ machines on there now, but most users have probably forgotten that they even have the service running.

I made a thread about this a while ago

It does imply some artistic talent, but conceptually it's mostly programming.

Basically, its live wallpapers, but rather than looping videos you just have an overlay of animated effects over an image. The images may have to be made "effectable" so for example erasing the waves on ocean-view wallpapers. Some can stay as is like adding moving fog to misty forests.

Animation effects can change color/size/properties, etc over time, and should stop upon covering the desktop with windows (to save on resources). It can give a feeling of "zen" while in downtime from productivity.

>>54908172
Would be pretty hard to determine which objects to avoid collision with in your wallpaper, no?

>inb4 steam is toitally shit, and for fps games doesn't even have server list
it does developers just have to integrate it but for some reason don't. There are a couple non-valve games that use the server list (tripwire games for instance).

The difficult part isn't making a decent messenger, its the advertising campaign, why should normies leave skype? (despite your personal botnet fueled opinion)

I'm not too familiar with graphic design, but in my head I imagine this:

3 core layers per wallpaper image.
>layer 1 is the base image, modified perhaps to account for animations (deleting flying birds, waves, cars for city-scapes even)
>layer 2 is the low opacity effects, with positional regions. Here, there is a region for where the waves flow, birds fly, etc. Regions don't really move and would provide rules for collisions.
>layer 3 can be high opacity things if going heavy with artistic talent. Can include fully rendered 2D trees, for example, that go over the other layers and move around from wind effects and whatnot. Moving cars maybe for cityscapes. This may be the most resource/talent intensive layer, but more optional.

The most basic thing would just be to add like fog effects to existing forests (so no modification) or little waves / sunshine reflections to simple images like pic related.

A program that locks me out of the internet when I've drank too much. Also locks my phone and my door and tells me to get some sleep.
>>
>>54908684
I see what you're getting at, i imagine that would turn out to be resource intensive having to render 3 layers and determine pathing, collision and whatever other neat features you want to add. I've always had the idea of the interactive wallpaper since a kid but imo its never been justifiable.

You might enjoy making vector animations or pictures with Adobe Animate (ex. Flash).

I thought about something similar before, but instead of waves crashing it'd change the time of day as the day goes along.

Ie if you come home at night and turn on your pc your wallpaper is this beach at night, and then in the morning it's the same beach at morning, and so forth

Most of all, I guess I really want a "file transfer manager" of sorts for Windows that allows me to queue transfers between disks both on my network and on a single computer.

After that, it would be great to have something like the Firefox add-on "Menu Editor" that could change the layout and content of the context menu when you right-click stuff in Windows.
Why does "rename" have to be so close to "delete"?
It's probably doable through messing with the registry files, but a simpler approach sounds easy enough, I think.

My last idea is more like a dream, though:
Get actors and such to do the speaking on GPS navigation units in cars and the like.

I guess it doesn't matter to a lot of people, but I think it would be awesome to have Morgan Freeman or Kiera Knightley tell me to turn right in 400 meters.
>>
>>54909762
Well, shit.

Morgan Freeman is already available, sort of:

THIS AND THIS

TEAMVIEWER opensource

And i mean you code not only the desktop application that makes the communication
you can just fork some VNC for that so thats like the least of the trouble I think
but the part about the centralised server that allows to punch through NAT

so that people can setup your server on some cheap VPS for $5 a month
and distribute the application with that server set as its communication point
and have all the benefits of teamviewer, logmein, VNC,.. for the price of a VPS, or some old PC c2d with public IP

I am amazed there is nothing like this yet
