Hi, so recently I've been meaning to start a project, a personal project, but I'm not sure what to build/develop? All over the internet what I keep seeing are either very simple project, like some service with basic APIs, or really just some AI Agentic mumbo jumbo stuff that I completely am not interested in.

What kind of projects are there that go 'in the middle' ? Or could maybe be useful and used, hell even monetized, what not?

I'm tired of all this AI slop going around, I want to do some engineering; I just don't know what to build!

What is your expertise? Things you know you are good at and can prove that you are good at despite any possible naysayers?

A personal problem you have that you think you could solve?

I have the same problem of deciding what to build for monetization too.
