What do you like to do?

I'm looking for webapp ideas. Not droid or iphone apps. I'd like to build something with Laravel or Angular since I have been learning both. Right now, I might go for a purely javascript text game, since I always wanted try that (candybox2, thegoldfactory).

An obvious idea would be an app which lets people submit and discuss their in-progress or weekend programming projects.

If you wanted to go all out with it, you could even have posts auto-delete after a week if there haven't been any comments on them.

I would like to receive an email every time someone writes a post on hacker news that matches the following expression ((software OR startup) AND (price, pricing, "how much can")). That would be awesome. If you let other users create their own expressions, they might like it too.

Here's one -> take a job post and turn it into "must haves" for the position. Here's what it would take:

0) Get a website URL & Job keyword

1) Build a web crawler

2) Given the Job site URL, user web crawler to go to website

3) Given the Job keyword, enter it into the URL's search box

4) Do the search

5) Return the first result

6) Parse it into key needs for that position

7) Store it into a DB

8) Do this again for the first 10 and then 100 jobs

9) Distill all the key skills

10) Produce a web report for jobsite URL + job keyword
