Something you want an add-on to do

So I just wrote my first add-on and it has me wondering what other kinds of add-ons people might want. Is there something specific about your class that you'd like to see/know/do? Anything having to do with trade skills, the auction house, or questing?
I'd like to write another simple add-on but can't really think of anything. Give me some ideas and maybe I (or someone else) will write you something.

I want an addon to make it so that lore characters no longer say or know my name, hardly know me at all, and I feel like a very minor part in the overall storyline; a single footsoilder in the grand game.

Actually I would love to have an add-on that made role playing much easier. There is an add-on for warlock's minions that has them do all sorts of rp type activities. It would be wonderful to see something like that expanded for companion pets or even mounts.
This is something I might be able to work with. Give me some details about how you anticipate something like this might work. Even a link to the add-on you mentioned could spark some ideas.

I would like to see an addon that would automatically write a duplicate reminder on windows calendar whenever I sign up for a raid on the ingame calendar. I am an altoholic and as such I play on different servers in different guilds and it is easy for me to lose track.
Editied to add I currently tab out of game whenever I saign up for a raid to manually make a reminder on windows calendar, almost always anyways, when I remember to.

Maybe an addon that tells you which debuffs that have to be dispelled asap (for healers such as myself).
Note: I don't know if this kind of addon already exist, I recently started looking for one.
This one wouldn't be too difficult for a rookie like myself, but I would need a list of those debuffs first. It would just be a simple matter of writing a function to check for those debuffs every time a player gains a debuff and then adding a message to the appropriate area if the debuff matches anything on the list. If you put me a list together, I'll write it.

Unfortunately this one isn't possible. Get yourself a Post-It note pad.

I (seriously) want a Trade Trolling addon, that when i use it, randomly selects one trade troll thing to write in chat.

I believe DBM already does this, no? Atleast I remember it back in LK taking into account what debuffs were hitting people and telling me to dispel/purge/cleanse appropriately.

Try Decursive for help with dispelling, excellent addon.
I think I've managed to find an addon for just about anything I could think of as far as function and looks...but if there was an addon to help consolidate and make sense of various addon gui's now THAT would be helpful!

Trust me. Someone tried doing this and got temp banned repeatedly.

For those mentioning DBM and Decursive as solutions to the add-on mijoruk would like, it's true that those add-ons work as they're intended. Decursive adds micro unit frames that aren't really necessary if the add-on only needs to alert the user of one of these debuffs, and DBM is way over the top for something so simple.
If a player doesn't want to have all the excess, a simple pop-up message that says player x has debuff y could certainly work. In my own opinion it wouldn't be as useful as DBM or Decursive, but it also wouldn't be a resource hog and would give the specific information a user is looking for without all the fluff. After all, minimalism is a good thing.
I've been toying with the idea of an addon that alerts you when to spend your JPs, VPs, CPs, HPs. Mainly because of the caps they have, thought it'd be nice to get a notification when you're reached a threshold (perhaps when you can afford the most expensive item for each). Then there's some reminder to go shopping before you start to miss points cause you're at the cap.
As far as I can tell, CP and VP don't have a cap. I found the function this is going to use, and I'll write it up to warn users when they have more than 3000 points (though the number will be easily configurable through the lua file). As long as you don't mind me crediting you for the idea, I'll get to work on this one.

I believe the functionality mijoruk is looking for is built into practically every raid frame addon. If, however, you want a big flash on your screen instead of a raid frame notifier, then Power Aura type addons are made to do exactly that.
Yes, and with a lot of overhead. There's nothing wrong with using an add-on that is not in-game configurable and does precisely one thing. Call it "boutique code" if you must.
