      For example, do you really want a Qt-native wrapper for some existing library? Or maybe a Qt-native client interface to some server / service?

      (I may, or may not, be fishing for open-source project ideas ;)

      Thanks :D

        Hi,

        Maybe @Charby Qt BAAS project could benefit from your help.

          Wanna be my hero? https://github.com/VSRonin/QtXlsxWriter

          I took over support of the library as I wanted to carry it forward but then realised some design choices by the original author (which has been inactive for quite some time) make it hard to implement future features and some others are simply not standardised (VBA macros are still a black box). That, paired with a lack of time made me end up sitting on a "just make it compile with latest Qt version" stance. Happy to relinquish control of the repository to a competent maintainer.

          This is also the only open source API (so I'm not including libre office here) to interact with those files I could find on the internet

            I'd like to see @VRonin's library to support the binary excel format too (the older one), but I know that's rather unlikely.
            Also I could use a friendly helping had for my daemon thing - I need an implementation for Android services.

            There's a plenty of work to go around with open source projects it seems. :)

                @Paul-Colby If you are interested in Qt and network things, you might be interested in revived QtWebKit project:

                      I would love to see three things:

                      1. "Ch -- an embeddable C/C++ interpreter, C and C++ scripting language" scripting interface
                      2. lib3DS interface into Qt3D
                      3. An official QtUSB interface to manage USB devices

                          Here is one... I would like to see QGraphicsView modified:

                          1. To have the ability to completely turn off scroll bars. Yes you can "turn them off" but the view still manages them. I would like just a basic view I can control the transformation of zoom/pan/rotate without scrollbar management interfering.

                          I have done this by doing everything in the scene and using the view as a husk. But, I then have to control the drawing which is cumbersome and sometime the view still kicks in a few artifacts for me.

                          So basically I want true view. A way to see the scene that is just a graphics window. I may look at doing this to see if I can implement a simpler QGraphicsView!

                            That would be pretty cool. Also integrated into Creator :)

                                  I'm personally prefer to see a good QtMultimedia module, as it is often used by us (but, still is buggy and soo slow). :)

                                  An official QtUSB interface to manage USB devices

                                  Heh.. I think, it is impossible in principle, as it required the signing of INF/CAT files on Windows to use "standard winusb driver" anyway (if you want to use WinUSB features).

                                  At least can be something like official QtHid, but not more. :)

                                    I'll chip in here.
                                    While not a new app or library, the Thymio open source robot for educational use could use some help.

                                        It would be great to have an official component (widget plugins) store / market place in the cloud, with qt creator integration.

                                          @Wieland this comes up on occasion, but it never gets to a high enough priority to be taken forward :(

                                          inqlude is the best place, and it has most of the needed framework in place to work. Main missing part would be integration with Qt Creator.
