Any other #developers come up with an idea for an app, assuming no one's done it before then check the app store, find a tonne of examples but still decide you can do better and ignore them all because you're too damn stubborn?

Think I've found my next pet project - Zoopla isn't giving me enough functionality, so started playing with Google Map layers... but then realised #ZooplaAPI was a thing so I could build exactly the interface I want 🤟 any requests/thoughts?
