Brent Simmons’ weblog. I write NetNewsWire, a free RSS reader for Mac and iPhone.

Idea for a website
If you’re a developer starting a new project it can be hard to know if you have a good idea or not. I had an idea for a website that would be a cross between Slashdot and AmIHotOrNot: OSXIdeas.com. People could post ideas for OS X software, and people could rate the ideas and discuss them.

Developers could then get feedback on their ideas before investing in them. Non-developers could post ideas for software they’d like to have and see if any developers go for it.

I probably won’t do this website—but if somebody else does, that would be cool. (I’d be willing to help, but I don’t have time to build it and run it all myself.)

About me

I learned programming way back in 1980 on an Apple II Plus, and have been an Apple fan ever since.
