Well, it’s not actually my dream app. My Dream App was a project started by blogger Phill Ryu and first mentioned to the public on August 5th. But what is this project? Well, today Ryu first revealed that to us in full detail:
So, a lot of you were right on the money with this being a competition for app ideas. I know many of you out there have some brilliant ideas just begging to be done as shareware apps, but don’t have the programming skills (or programmer friends) to make them happen. So that’s what we’re going to do, with the best possible team backing you up, if you win. You’ll get your dream app realized in brilliant form, developed by top-notch developers, designed by the best UI designers, and ideas fully formed with critique and suggestions from some of the best minds in the industry.
Basically, that means that if your idea for a piece of Mac software wins this contest, you’ll have a team of top-of-the line software developers build it for you, with your supervision of course. Hey, that’s pretty sweet. But who exactly decides the winner of My Dream App? Well, in addition to Ryu himself, several guest judges will include Leo Laporte, David Pogue, Scott McNulty of our buds over at TUAW, and Macworld’s own Jim Dalrymple.
Anyway, My Dream App will debut Monday, so start thinking of what your dream app is (by the way, if you’re curious about what my dream app is, I’d say it would be an all-in-one ultra news and information app that features a slim and streamlined Cocoa browser with support for Firefox extensions, a NetNewsWire-like RSS reader, and a Mail.app-like mail program, all-in-one).
