[bounty] [pipe] $1000 - developer program

[m13v]

Developer Program

We’re excited to announce the Developer Program, following a recent surge in interest and the successful launch of the pipe app store within the screenpipe platform.

Goal

Our goal is to enhance and expand the number of high-quality apps (pipes) available within screenpipe.

Terms

• Bounty:
  • We offer a $1,000 bounty for each approved pull request (PR).
• Timeline:
  • The aim is for this project to take you anywhere from a few days to, at most, a month. The faster the better
• How to Participate:
  • Submit a message via GitHub issues (either in this thread for new apps or in a relevant thread for existing apps, for quick back-forth chat please go to discord -> 'developer program' https://discord.gg/kyJ8WgdJsE)
  • Your message should include a detailed plan outlining what you intend to build. For example:
    • A new app you’d like to create.
    • New features you’d like to add to an existing app.
    • Bugs you’d like to fix in an existing app.
• Ownership: Think of this as a small project you own. We encourage you to:
  • Explore existing apps.
  • Propose creative ideas for new apps, features, or bug fixes.
• Process:
  • Submit your suggestions or plan via GitHub issues.
  • We will review all submissions and select the best proposal for each app.
  • Once approved, we will assign one developer to work on each app.
• Reward criteria:
  • Ship working app, ready to be used by end-users. It’s better to reduce number of features, but to make an app more stable, intuitive, and useful
• Bonus:
  • This mini-project will turn into a long-term assignment, once you do a first set of features you may submit a new plan and get another $1k. We’d be happy if you make a ton of money.
• Tips:
  • Start with the end in mind: suggest mockups of the UX with excalidraw, tldraw, or anything you like. Can also suggest infra diagrams.
  • Start simple, and iterate, don't overengineer, focus on building something useful, saving people time, or allowing them to make more money, have better relationship, health, etc.

Apps & Improvement Ideas

Below are some of the apps in our ecosystem and rough ideas for potential improvements:

Meeting Assistant #1185

• Inspiration: Granola has the best UX to emulate.
• Use audio LLMs to provide better meeting assistance

Obsidian Integration #1186

• Idea: Let the user define specific information he wants to capture from his screen and AI would do (example CRM, engineering information, daily workflows, etc.).

Loom Generator #1187

• Unique Advantage: screenpipe allows users to create videos based on their desktop history. For instance, if a user encounters a bug they cannot recreate, they can still generate a video showcasing the issue. Or sharing a time of your day with a coworker.
• Inspiration: Screen.studio provides excellent UX to draw from.
• Use AI to narrate videos (voice and caption)

Search #1188

• Improve keyword-based search functionality.
• Add semantic search capabilities for better context-based results.

Timeline (renamed to Rewind) #1189

• Inspiration: Rewind.ai has an exceptional UX to reference.

Daily/Weekly Activity Summary #1190

• Implement tools for time tracking and productivity analysis.

Twitter Bot #1191

• Build a bot that comments intelligently on other users’ posts.
• Build an agent that grows your Twitter network and/or advertise your content/prodanalysis.

Engineer Bot #1192

• Build an agent that comments on your Linear tasks and Github issues while you work
• Inspiration coderabbit.ai, sweep.ai, devin,

Your Own App #1193

• We encourage you to create an app that you or people you know would use personally

please feel free to share you app ideas, feedback, questions

[m13v]

tell me which app you want to work on, i'll create a separate issue with the bounty for it as a starting point

[LorenzoBloedow]

From what I understood, this issue is the correct place to put your app ideas, so here's mine:

StudyPal

What is it?

An AI agent to help students study anything.

Initial Features

• Store summaries of what you've studied each day, categorized by subject and topic.
• Show how much time you've spent on each subject/topic.
• Allow student to allocate time to each subject/topic, at the start of each day, StudyPal will calculate how much time you have to spend on each subject/topic in order to meet your allocated time. E.g: you're supposed to study differential equations for 3 hours everyday, but one day you've decided to study physics for the entire day, now you'll have to study 6 hours of differential equations today to follow your schedule (3 daily hours + 3 hours lost yesterday). You can also reset the schedule if it gets too messy.
• Share your study progress on Twitter with one click.

Some Features For The Future

• Show desktop notifications to alert you when you should switch topics/subjects to meet your allocated time schedule.
• Export summaries to Notion.
• Automatically generate flashcards with important questions to help you memorize important topics, and show your progress on these flashcards.
• Identify and showcase topics you've struggled with by analyzing things such as: time spent on topic/amount of googled questions/wrong flashcard answers.
• Block social media apps while you're studying.
