I need ideas and suggestions.

Hello, I'm a web and mobile developer. I need to produce something new that people can use. But I'm running out of ideas. Can you help me?

    If you aren’t sure what to make, you could:

    • Look on sites like Fiverr, and see what jobs people are looking to get done, and see if you can automate any of them

    • Create a PDF of something you know about and put in on a site like Gumroad

    • Create a PDF compiling information about, well, anything and put in on a site like Gumroad

    • Find a Chrome extension that has a good number of installs, but low ratings, and see if you can make a better one

    • Find a useful script you’ve written and offer it in exchange for an email address

    • Offer to make a friend a website, and note any time you’re having a hard time getting it to do what you want. How can you simplify that for others?

    There are endless ways to approach this, the point is to just thing small, don’t overthink it, and keep trying things.

      This. I wrote a post here about Why Browser Extensions are a Good Way to Start Indie Hacking.

      I also have a CSV of all Chrome extensions you could use to find low-rated extensions with a lot of users.

      I also run ExtensionPay, which lets you add payments to your extensions really easily. So far, extension developers have made over $175k with ExtensionPay!

    Android App and Apple App with a web app. Just like the ocean cleanup but generally available to citizen for ALL local issues. Enables power back to citizen stage 1. Stage 2 councils funding and SMEs adoption. Stage 3 SME funding.

    It does need someone who cares about planet earth. The tone will come thru in UX. The design needs to be as slick as apple versus rough and ready.
