What is a good resource for inspiration?

I'm completely stuck in the idea phase. Really, I consider myself a good full-stack software engineer that can build pretty much anything that I want but I can't simply stick with an idea to build.

So folks, what is a good place to look for inspiration? I'n not looking for the next billion dollar idea, well, if it happens I would be really happy. I simply want to build something, see the money flowing, people using the service, etc.

    We developers build solutions.

    1. Here you need to find the problems around you, that is your idea
    2. Build the solution for that problem using your Tech Stack
      And the rest of things will work automatically.

    Let say someone having problem to track all the products inventory, you build and automate the inventory for them. And your idea get converted to real life product.

    Always try to solve people's problems then you won't get confused with ideas.
    Happy Coding :)

    Hey I’m currently working on an app for a startup, it’s just me at the moment, fancy helping me out? Using react, express, typescript, let me know if you’re interested :)

    I think it's important to not think of ideas for solutions to other peoples problems, think about solutions to problems YOU have. If you have those problems, likely others do too. I guarantee you almost every day you do something where you think "this should be better", theres your idea.

      I think the best bet I see currently is building a Shopify app (https://www.preetamnath.com/blog/shopify-micro-saas).

      It doesn't excite me too much tbh, but I might do it just to get the ball rolling.
