I want to code a WP plugin. What do you guys want to see in a plugin? More importantly what do you think will sell well?

Auto post what?
Not really a marketing plugin but what i find lacking within wordpress today is a good and configurable search widget to use for e-commerce and sites with huge imported data feeds.
Search with checkboxes and relevant results really shouldn't be that hard to code but still the only only plugs developed for this is outdated and the demand seems to be quite big, defiantly worth a look on your part.
Good Luck!

I think they were talking about autoposting to FB. There are some that do it but not very well. I have some that post to FB but I have to push the button to make that happen and then it does not always work.
Well... here is something that I would love and I don't think it yet exists. I'll try to be as descriptive as I can with it so if this is a long, boring post, forgive me. Here goes:
I want a WP side bar widget. I'm sure you know how a banner ad rotator works, right? There is a widget for that I know of that allows you to ( in the admin panel ) place the code to an unlimited number of banners ( in a list ) and on the blog it simply shows a random banner ( from the list ) each time the blog page refreshes.
I want something that works exactly LIKE that only with "Links" instead of banners. I would use this to replace the WP blogroll widget. My reason for wanting that is that I have LOTS of links I would want to show on my blog. Links to affiliate pages, links to my other blogs, etc. I find it VERY time consuming and a pain in the butt to to fill out the "add a link" panel for each and every "single" link I want to show on my blog And not only THAT, but a LONG LIST of clickable links in my side bar is an eyesore and kind of ugly. Especially when the list of links is LONGER than the blog post and you end up scrolling down to see the links and having a large area of "white space" on the blog post section. Anyway, back to my idea for the widget.
Now try to envision this. We'll call this widget "Rotating links". What it basically is is just simply an ever expanding list of links that I can keep adding as many links as I want to whenever I want. One link per line. Here is an example:
line 1 - Name of link - URL clicking the name of link takes you to.
line 2 - Name of link - URL clicking the name of link takes you to.
line 3 - Name of link - URL clicking the name of link takes you to.
( and so on. Unlimited number of links in this list )
And then a setting that allows you to pick a number between 1-20 of links that will be randomly selected from the list to be shown on the blog.
Once this is set up, I would then go to the "widgets" tab. There would now be a "widget" called "rotating links". I take that widget and drag it over to the "widget area" ( like I would any other WP widget, placing it where I want to. I now get to NAME the section. Let's say I decide to name it " Other Interesting Topics". That's it. NOW it's working.
HERE is what visitors to my BLOG would see:
Over to the right of all my blog posts is an area called "Other interesting Topics"
IN that area is simply a list of a number of links ( 1 - 20 links set by the number I set in the admin panel ). Let's say for the sake of this example that I set it to show 5 links.
THOSE 5 links were randomly chosen from my list of links that I make. And EACH time the blog page refreshes for any reason THOSE 5 links rotate off the page and 5 different randomly selected links rotate in.
That's it. I hope this makes sense to you. I hope even MORE you are able to program this.
