Startup Idea: Startup Idea for MTurk Optimization Software

Startup idea to develop a more streamlined desktop app for MTurk users. The software should encompass existing scripts for catching hits, alerting users with new surveys, setting personal goals, and notifying when posts from favorite requesters are made. This unexplored concept of 'MTurk Software' aims to enhance the efficiency of MTurk users who struggle to find work.

Some of us who are unable to find work use Mturk. There are lots of helpful Turkers who have coded basic scripts that streamline the process of catching hits. Hits that are in large batches (multiple hits can be done by one worker) can be caught by a script called preview and accept, which displays new hits and catches them automatically for you before they are gone. Other scripts alert turkers when new surveys are up. I feel like a software team could research the bare bones scripts made for us, and make the process even more streamlined. A desktop app that does both things for us, lets us set our goals, pops up messages when requesters we like have posted, etc. Yes, "Mturk software", no results.
