app design brainstorm

Taco Hunter
This application will utilize the gps/locater and direct it's user to the nearest Mexican food place! Realistically, it wouldn't be a great app if it was sponsored by one specific group, so I'd probably have to find a local city paper (like The Stranger) to sponsor it. Possible in app links could be a "nearest place" page, "my favorites" where you can save your favorite spots, "search" for a specific mexican food item, and "restaurant" pages that describe where it is, their phone number, some blurb and the menu.


Seattle Pet Adoption
A locally sponsored app, maybe by Seattle Humane Society. Basically, I have been recently looking into adopting a dog (while I'm at work, thus on my phone)  and am constantly sent to non-mobile-optimized websites that are insanely difficult to navigate, as well as see their options. I would like to create a fun app that really helps get animals adopted. I imagine it will be really fun, with bios and pictures of animals available to adopt.


Museum Tour
Virtual tour guide for a local Seattle Museum. Will include information on the the featured gallery, walk through maps, and potentially links to finding and buying artwork or prints? Probably has been done, but I imagine it could be a useful app if you are so inclined to LEARN about the art you're seeing. If you're even going to museums.


The Stranger's Bar A Day
Sponsored by Seattle's The Stranger Magazine, this app would be maybe a one time a year app that suggests a bar to go to every day. The app would open with the (potentially sponsored) bar of the day. It would contain information about why it was chosen, when it's hours are, location, etc. Could potentially become a deal offering app, where the on the day for a bar it would have specials? This idea came to me because I know that Seattle is a huge city with tons of options as far bars and I personally always try to explore new places. This would be a great way to get people out!
