Ask HN: Share your ideas for a side project

13 pointsby poushkarabout 3 years ago
Hi HN, I would like to implement a service or a info product that can bring a couple of $ a month to donate to a charity, but I am out of ideas. Do you have anything in mind that you don't have time to work on yourself? Thank you.

If all you want is to donate a couple bucks a month to a charity, just donate a couple bucks a month to the charity

I&#x27;m working on a non-profit search engine (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ask.moe" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ask.moe</a>) where the plan is to donate 80% of the profits to charities chosen by our users. Google have approved my AdSense account but for some reason then they disable the ads whenever I turn on revenue share (but they&#x27;re fine with showing ads if I turn it off.. I don&#x27;t quite understand the logic behind this behavior).<p>The plan is to provide a general-purpose search engine powered by Google, and then build our own category-specific search engines which will yield much better results thanks to filters.<p>It&#x27;s currently written in Vue.js but I&#x27;m planning to rewrite it in React&#x2F;Next.js + TailwindCSS. I would love to team up with people on HN if anybody is interested.

Maybe building a consumer app for iOS&#x2F;Android - you can pick a pretty standard idea or look through the list of popular apps and implement something similar with IAP. You won&#x27;t make a living doing this without serious investment in marketing, sales and product but you can probably bring in a little bit of $ per month. I guess I would question the efficiency of this based on your hourly rate and how long you&#x27;d spend building this versus just donating money or time directly to charity.

You could also help a charity build an app they need and save them thousands of dollars.<p>Or build a website that matches charities with benevolent developers. Oh wait that exists:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donatecode.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.donatecode.com</a>

I want an Android app that does this: samples my location data at a regular interval (that I define) and posts it to an URL (that I also define). I run a lot and would prefer to track my own runs vs having my data live on RunKeeeper or wherever.
