Who Wants to Make 99* Cents?

I have a bunch of ideas for apps (mostly non-magic) that no one wants but me. I’ve put some time into learning to code, but it’s always my lowest priority, so I’m moving slowly on it. I’ve decided I’ll occasionally share an app idea here. Then, if someone who creates apps has some time to kill, they can pop out the app. This isn’t a money-making situation. I’m not going to pay you to make it (because I don’t really care) and you’re not going to pay me for the idea if you do end up creating and selling the app (again, because I don’t really care and no one is likely to buy it).

This first app would be called Who Won?

This is an app that will tell you who won the day’s games in sports.

But that’s all it will tell you. It won’t tell you what the score was, or anything that happened during the game.

You see, I like sports, and I often don’t get to watch a game live. So I’ll record it to watch later.

That’s fine, but I don’t want to spend a couple hours watching a game if the team I like lost. I don’t consider that an enjoyable use of my time.

So it’s just a matter of looking up who won to see if I want to watch it. But if I am going to watch the game, I don’t really want to know any of the details about what occurred other than who won. I don’t want to know the score or anything that happened in the game. I want to be surprised if it’s a last second win, or a blow-out, or a big comeback or whatever.

So that would be the purpose of this app.

The simplest version would just be a scoreboard of various sports, but without the scores. So the winning team would just be highlighted a certain color or whatever.

A more advanced version would allow you to pick certain teams in different sports and leagues and you would just get the results for those particular teams.

If anyone decides to build this, let me know. I’ll buy a copy and you’ll make 99 cents (*well, 65 cents after Apple’s cut).
