Ideas for EE Addons

Reverse Shoestring (Fieldtype)

A fieldtype that takes a "shoestring" relationship (where the entry ID is just stored in a text field) and shows reverse related entries.

Example

Channel B has a text field, "b_parent", that is a shoestring relationship to Channel A. In Channel A, you would create a field of type ReverseShoestring, which has settings for Channel (optional) and Field (required) to use, as well as (possibly?) a list of columns to pick from in the displayed result. We would in this case choose Channel B and Field b_parent. Then, on the Publish/Edit screen of Channel A, you'd see a nice table of all the Channel B entries that have Channel A as their b_parent.

Note: Obviously this field would only show data after the Channel A entry got saved. It should be hidden or something until then. Also investigate how to keep it from throwing PHP errors.

License Tracker (Module, Accessory)

A module that allows for license tracking for both EE and addons, per installation and per MSM site. Can pull data from well-known addons (and EE config, for EE itself) automatically. Should have manual entry as well, for more obscure addons. Optionally validate against the devot:ee API when possible.

ReText (Fieldtype)

A fieldtype that allows a user to choose a specific entry, and a specific field from that entry, to reuse. Will show read-only view of entry. Stores as reference/relationship, and updates when original entry updates.

Google FusionTables (Module, Fieldtype)

Interfacing with Google's FusionTables, for map data and other sorts of big datasets. Alternative to Matrix, maybe? And easy way to map things.

Embed.ly (Plugin, with settings in config.php)

Interfacing with embed.ly for rich embedding of URLs, with options. Setting in config.php can optionally hold an embed.ly API key. In absence of an API key, will fall back to free keyless version.

Two modes of operation:

Single tag (manually enter a URL as a param)
Tag pair (process all external and non-relative URLs between the tags)

Machine Tagging (Module?)

Machine tagging support

Category Utilities (Plugin?)

Do various things with categories and entries. Replace a bunch of Laisvis' (overly expensive) plugins with a swiss-army solution. Sell for $5 or $10?
