DIY app inspiration
When approaching the DIY portion of the course, I find myself thinking of apps that already exist (e.g., for personal use - restaurant or photo apps searchable by location, and for business use only those geodata portals I've already used/seen in my work in demography and health informatics) rather than thinking "outside the box" in creating a new app.
Where do you get your inspiration and how do you suggest students think more creatively?
Since I am learning, should I try to replicate functionality in apps that I have seen and found useful for the DIY assignments if I cannot think of a completely novel geoapp, and then perhaps I'd see how it should be extended and made more useful?
Thanks!
