Default Turbo Software Idea/Request/Challenge

Anyone with software experience, the following product should be developed for ww players (though maybe it already exists?):

A simple program with a GUI where you can select a person from a box on the left, see all their posts and times and votes on the right. That's all the core functionality that I care about, but I can think of a zillion other useful features. All it involves is parsing some HTML and making a little display area.

Once upon a time I wrote a quick command line program that stripped an html file representing the showall-flat of a game and spit out files, one for each player, with all their posts. But it was a bit tedious to use and I never felt like making a full easy-to-use GUI out of it.



Anyone feel up to it? Once the basic framework is up I'd have no problem putting in some effort to add features and such. Anyone wanna work with me on this?

No. Don't you think it would be great for the community though?

I would love to have a POG freeroll every week. First prize $100. Sponsored by our lovable mods, VR, Durron, JaredL.

I don't think we have much of a shot of this one either.

Why the hate? I wasn't asking for people to tell me if they thought it would happen or not, I was asking if there was anyone who wanted to work on this with me.

It honestly wouldn't take that long to make, and would be a huge help when playing a game. I just don't feel like doing it all myself.

[/ QUOTE ]No there was nothing wrong with the OP, I just thought your reply to Durron was begging for a little teasing.
