Ask HN: What should I build?

40 pointsby spicavigoabout 12 years ago
That pretty much what I wanna ask you guys. What should I build? I am bored to my bones. Suggest a project, if you will.<p>EDIT: I am Python/Erlang/C dev who has done a bit of Android and iOS dev. My email is my username at gmail. Dont ask me to make beautiful games, I am sure I wont be able to do that.

There are Kaggle contest if you want to get into data. You can also search for social hackathons if you want to do some good for the world. You can go outside and talk to people, listen to their problems and use your programming skills to solve them. You can build tools to solve your pain points. You can try to take classes on Udacity and Cousera to see if you get any inspiration for projects. Maybe make some contributions to opens source projects. Games don't have to be beautiful, look at Minecraft. There are a lot of tutorials online about making 3D models, illustrator, etc. You only get better at things by doing them.

Just sent you a gtalk connect request - from my username at gmail dot com Id be happy to show you what my little bootstrapped team is building, though actually, we need mysql and backend php.

Name your preferred domains and interest areas. BTW it's best to scratch your own itch.<p>Maybe you should build sumting that relives you of your boredom. Maybe the next angry birds ?

Please develop a mobile app for my web app <a href="http://weekplan.net" rel="nofollow">http://weekplan.net</a> The web app userbase is growing and I can't keep up with the development.<p>There is already an API although it is not documented yet. Contact me if you are interested.

I wrote <a href="http://hirehub.me" rel="nofollow">http://hirehub.me</a> on side, its getting traction in India. You can contact me if you would like to contribute. I have made it mostly for startup, because startups cannot afford high prices.<p>P.S Built completely in Rails

I'd love to see a mobile game for couples that is asynchronous and collaborative.

I was asked over the weekend if I knew someone who could build an app to run on Android and iPhone. Not a game, but a data-gathering, easy-to-use app.<p>My email is in my profile.

Are you interested in working with others or just want to do something solo? I have some ideas, but obviously I'd like to be involved somewhat.

You should add an email to your profile, that way people can reach you :)

a chrome /firefox plugin that finds plain text links (without &#60;a&#62; tags) Easy and pretty usable instead of highlighting copy -&#62; paste the url or email. If you don't make I will :D
