I was big into BBSs in the 80s, including the ocassional SYSOPing. I've been working since as a software engineer. Now I'm thinking about
working on a few projects. I'm mentioning them in case anyone has any comments, ideas, or suggestions.
- Offline QWK reader/editor for iPhone/iPad.
- Asterisk or FreeSwitch BBS gateway (possibly just offline QWK reader)
Yes please!!!. Let me know when you're looking for testers. Also, Android would be nice too, I have both iOS and Android devices here. Offline mail is a perfect match for mobile devices, especially here, where it's not too hard to wander out of coverage. :) I actually don't understand why (limited functionality) point systems (there's at least 2) came before offline mail (which doesn't yet exist) for Android.

I've done a little Android development in the past (mostly just
tutorials, nothing practical), so maybe that's a posibility too. What's that about point systems though?

Like a voice gateway to a BBS. Kind of like a voicemail system merged
with BBS. Dial in, and once authenticated, access a menu where you can have messages read (text-to-speech). Probably not the most useful
thing, but a potential learning experience.

- Door game (a few vague ideas - Roguelikes mostly)
- Reddit message gateway
- Text based wiki Door (read, search, edit...)

Just ideas. Who knows what I'll get around to doing. :)
