Coolest application you've ever made
I'm building an application that interfaces with Google Maps right now, and the admin panel for it is honestly the coolest thing I've ever made. It works so well. Basically you enter in a property (address, name and other stuff) and it will try to locate that property, and drop a marker on a map that is next to the form. You can then move that marker around, click save and wala! It's in the database. Then you can assign all kinds of things to that property. The user then comes and can click on icons that make certain properties appear on the map, and can search and find directions and the whole sharah. It's amazingly cool and I'll show you guys when it's done.
My question is... what is the coolest application/website/whatever you've ever made? How come?

The coolest app i have made is my DB Front-end I had made out of free-time/necessity back in 2005 as I didn't want that humongous phpMyAdmin. It is totally AJAX and so you can sort of do all of it in one place... right-click, select actions and it done... critical actions require confirmation so i would not accidentally delete/drop the whole table.column etc...
I was planning another cool app but not having much time on my hands

I've made a few things I think are relatively cool and I'm in the process of re-making one of them now. One was a db front end (similar to what n00b did). It too is totally ajax and allows for inline column editing, inline structure editing, inline value editing, quick selects, quick wheres, bunch of other really cool stuff.
another one (one I'm reworking now) is a catalog manager for all of my mp3s. This new version is going to be really really sweet. (drag and drop songs into a playlist that can be played right off the site (through a flash player I wrote), or generate an m3u file to play in your favorite media player (winamp, wmp etc)...some other stuff that I won't unveil right yet. I will defintely be sharing this once it's done.

You know. But I got wait until I'm off work. They are accepting of me being on the forums, but playing games, I can't imagine it would fly seeing as it is my second week here. But I've been wanting to get back in the ring, if you know what I mean.Burrito wrote:yeah but on my 'cool scale' that falls a bit short. At least compared to the ones I mentioned above.Everah wrote:Burr, what about RoeShamBo? Did you make that?
speaking of roe sham...you up for a duel Everah?
