I. Identify a Common Vision

You’ve all voted on a common idea and themes. Now is the time to work through your commonalities and find a unifying vision between all of you. Answer the following for each of you. This is the time to speak your mind. Be honest with each other.

Commonalities

Who makes up your team? What are some common things you are interested in? Tell each other about the things you put down on the survey and expand on some of your passions.

• code for programmers
• voice to code, specifcally ease of use
• struggles with documentation

Inspiration

What are some things each of you is inspired by?

• Abby + Annie's hackathing voice tic-tac-toe
• voice activation changes over the years
• Whisper
• templates for coding blocks
  • ie. classes, documentation, functions
• clippy (Microsoft)

Problems of Interest

What problems are you looking to address? Why?

• limited education in cs in action
• programmers who stuggle with typing (carpal tunnel)
• lack of coding templates
• having to search for errors in stackoverflow
• limited consistency + standardization of documentation and coding practices

Identify

Which of the above is most interesting to all of you?

• lack of coding templates + documentation

II. Narrow In

Now let's try narrowing in on a problem that interests all of you. Make sure to go around the table and listen to everybody on your team without interruption.

Coolness

What could be cool about this potential project?

• talks back
  • call and response
  • New function -> name, parameters, etc
• automatically searching errors in stack overflow
• Being able to code on the go

Challenges

What could be challenging / unfun about this potential project?

• 4 vs for
• how to increase speed (which keywords to use, etc)
• language
• various coding languages

Success

What does success look like for this project?

• A user is able to speak, and corresponding python code is created on our website
• Ability to implement standardized coding templates through voice commands

i have a single patreon that i sponsor (just 1$ a month but still) and they produce a very cool suite for voice/sound/eye control for accessibility as well as speed. https://talonvoice.com/. there are some crazy videos of folks who use various clicks and sounds to be really fast at coding. however it is pretty niche - for most folks voice control is often slow and error prone.

code on the go is interesting - maybe with some ar component - especially if you are integrating tools such as github copilot or something - the future there is scary and cool.

lots of folks use function stubs and snippets - but perhaps with copilot and visual confirmations that might start getting at something very cool.

another code thing that I've thought would be cool is trying to take visual block coding into VR - what might it mean to assign actions to items using snap together pieces like scratch. scratch is fine - but is getting pretty old looking - would kids be more engaged in a virtual coding environment.
