A new "killer" app?

I was brainstorming about making some of my other development projects simpler, and I realized they mostly all come down to the same problem: I simply want to create lists of text or of files, apply tags or associate numerical values or notes or lonks to other files, and sort filter and color based on often-complex sets of criteria. I'm imagining something hopefully-simple that could manage all that; and it could be the core for managing todo lists, audio files, video clips, downloads, and so on. Yeah, it's another big dream...

Internet Television

I've started using Democracy Player to watch internet TV and to keep an eye on YouTube. However, it's built using python and HTML, and is dreadfully slow on my iBook G4. Also it can't integrate with NicePlayer, so I can't watch TV while I'm doing other things on the computer.

So, I've started work on a simple OS X app that thus far can load and parse vlog RSS feeds. Once I add the ability to download the media files, I'll have a functionaly, slim replacement for Democracy TV.
