Thanks for your commentary. This is exactly why I feel it is such a good thing to share one's ideas openly. I agree these are not concrete ideas - they are more of a reminder for me next time I'm looking for a project. E.g. "sound-gen in flash" is basically to remind me that it is now possible to synthesize audio in Flash dynamically. You can fill an array with 44,100 bytes (0-255) and it will play that for one second. This would be a very logical extension of my research project: http://chir.ag/493 and http://chir.ag/493/water/ that was done using a Java Applet. I figure Flash work pretty well for stuff like this too.
I have absolutely no problems with anyone else making these apps or buying the domain names including screenshotnow.com. In fact I expect others to either make these apps or completely obsolete them by making other things that work even better. I move things down to the 'baked' section once I find something has been already made well. E.g. I wanted to make an equation solver/calculator-creator using JSMath. It would let anyone with very basic math skills to create say, a mortgage calculator using simple formulas. Then anyone could fill in the variables to get the answer. And you could share your calculators with others. One day I found this: http://my.instacalc.com/calc/429c5824467344b29f3dbdb57c58498... and it does almost exactly what I wanted to do (though I would have a different/nicer UI).
