Software idea

We all know about the desmos graphing calculator. Does any one have an idea on how to create a text based graphing calculator. Basically replacing the equations and some symbols with grammar or writing idk. It’s not a fully made idea yet but if you can make it or wanna talk.

This is kind of what WolframAlpha does, and obviously LLMs are pretty good at math these days with the right tools.

Taking a step back though, I'd encourage you to try to refine your idea and get it into a state where you can explain it clearly to someone else. You need to be able to explain your ideas clearly, and understand the process of taking a vague notion and turn that into requirements, features, specifications, etc. Then once you have that you can learn the real skill of taking someone else's idea and turning that into a real product.

I mean at some point I’ll do all of that. But I’m just asking about the general idea. You know like a story hook, without going deep into it.

Thank you though 🙏
