How to create an open source application
It made me
Happy 
"I did the entire thing solo, and learned a lot about programming in the process."
How I did it: I decided to write a quick and dirty Python script that would serve as an alarm clock, but only play when school was open (not play on snow days). This was fairly easy, but I decide to make it usable and distribute it under the GPL... making an interface is what took the most work. I don't have a lot of users (possibly not any) but it still feels good.
You can check it out at http://www.mgroat.com/clock It's still a work in progress, but it's usable.
Lessons & tips: Getting started was the hardest part. Don't worry if you're not very good at your programming language, you'll learn what you need to know as you go.

I'll stick to tweaking things

I’m not a ground up designer or programmer. I can give some ideas, but I’m not going to be the one behind the code. I did do a userscript for firefox, but that’s about it.
I've got an idea?!
