I recommend you take a look at Rob Walling's blog: http://www.softwarebyrob.com/ He also runs the Microprenuer Academy that focuses on helping and promoting one-person startups. His key advice: focus on a niche industry or audience. For example, a few years ago I had this great idea of building a task management app. I quickly discovered there were dozens of them, Asana, Producteev, Flow, Trello, etc. Using his advice, I could have focused developing a task app for a particular industry, say industrial engineers, architects, investment advisors, etc. His point being that specific industries have very specific needs, and one-size-fit-all, general purpose apps rarely targets those needs. Bottom line, think about what kinds of app you'd enjoy building, social media, news, productivity app, game, whatever, then cross breed it with some underserved market.
