Project Ideas

Miscellaneous ideas

Alternate UI for Rutgers SOC, or for any other Rutgers API
CPT test: Implement a continuous performance task (CPT) test in Javascript, as well as a backend to store results.
Car Pooling App: App to help users make carpooling arrangements.
Online bboard/messaging service for a particular domain (e.g., students taking a class).
URL shortener: Similar to, e.g., bit.ly or tinyurl (proof of concept: your URLs will still be under this server, so not really short, but you will have to implement backend, redirects, and possibly frontend widget to make "shortening" easily usable).
Webpage change tracking: App that allows you to register a few pages, which are monitored, and notifications are sent when they change (note: running scheduled tasks in background on server may require special arrangements).
"Powered by Flask": list of some apps and sites that (publicly admit they) are using Flask.

Fruity: Prototype of complete online store, with backend (in Flask and SqlAlchemy), REST API (serving JSON), and frontend (in Angular.js).
Grub It!: Group event scheduling app, using Twilio APIs to send out SMSes for coordination.
Rutgers Dash: HTML5/Javascript dashboard, aggregating information from variousi Rutgers APIs (e.g., bus schedules, dining information, etc).
Cookie: Specialized search and browsing interface for cookie recipies, using the Yummly APIs.
Super Awsome Planner: HTML5/Javascript calendar widget.
