Is StackApps.com the place to suggest applications you would like to see created?

I sometimes receive suggestions along the lines of "Is it possible add [feature-suggestion] to Stack Exchange?" I send most feature requests to meta.stackoverflow but some suggestions seem more appropriate for a custom software application.

Is it appropriate for end-users to come here with suggestions for applications to be created?

My humble opinion: given that all the App/API devs are here, it makes sense to post app suggestions here. Might create a new "app-request" tag.

    +1 for the app-request tag suggestion - this should become a regular featured tab alongside the apps tab, actually, to get Stack Apps into the desired and logical direction of being the Stack Exchange app store, as @code poet and others are correctly advocating, unfortunately somewhat at odds with the Stack Exchange Pantheon right now, apparently ;)

    I just submitted a respective feature request, hope you don't mind - as mentioned there your cool tag name really pin pointed the issue at hand!

YES!

This is the perfect place to suggest an idea for an application.

Now, if you suggest an application idea and I implement it, do you have any IP claim?

There are all kinds of people in the world and you just have to expect that someone is going to raise a fuss of one kind or another regarding IP, but that just comes with the territory I suppose.

If you think that the requested feature is best for a custom app and not a general feature for a site send them here.

There are lots of devs here just waiting to jump on a great new idea.

(That's my not humble opinion.)
