So I think my first demo will be a pocket money calculator for my kids. They get a basic £2pw and bonuses for chores. I'll invent some complex rules for the purposes of demo e.g. £25p per chore but a bonus 50p for all chores, and maybe -50p for disciplinary measures.
I reckon I can knock that up in an afternoon using public cloud services, have the same data accessible by multiple clients and stored in a persistent location. All done without code or having to find a host and maintain a server.
More complex project for the second demo I think.

You've just discovered Google Docs?
it's an admission of a lack of any form of proper process and a risk to the business......
Quite probably, but that's not my problem. I am invested precisely 0% in the god-awful toxic environment that is where I work. I try to make [i]my particular role[/i] a bit easier because of the whole "work smarter, not harder" thing and when some people see they get on board, that's all. Some of those people don't know what they're doing, but again that's not my problem.

Not what I plan to do, no. But as always there are many ways to do things, each with pros and cons. And demos are by nature simple when they are dreamed out of thin air, and simple demos can always be implemented in different ways.
If you're nice I might show you what I've done 🙂
go on, show us. \this is a good thread

Indeed. Must be an industry thing.
We have shedloads of stuff written in Excel by various ex-members of various departments within our organisation, some quite complex. People get quite sniffy when we in IT don't support/troubleshoot/bugfix/update this stuff for them.
Calculation of solubility curves, crystallisation DOE, assay determination.
Oh and booking equipment.
