"...but I still struggle to create things that someone might actually want to use."

There, that's one of the problems programmers have to get over. Don't always try to create things that people might actually use, make up stupid stuff. Fiddle around try out silly ideas, proficient is partly having experience in coding a lot.

Doing different stuff, though maybe useless to the rest of the world, helps build style and practices creating better code. And at times though that you develop new ideas an methods for doing things.
