What about this as a new side project idea:

A platform that allows you to find other random people at a similar stage in their side project and become 'buddies' and have to have a weekly catchup about your progress. Then you're both sort of accountable to your buddy, or at least have to report to them what you've done!

Here's a pretty hardcore version of that idea https://gofuckingdoit.com/ . Put your money up, and if you don't make your deadline for your friend to verify it, your money goes to your friend.

Maybe couple this with a gamification idea, getting points for successful weekly reports? I don't know if that would be useful or really evil...
