Ask HN: What can I build for you?

3 points by jventura ↗ HN
Hi HN, I'm currently working as a Professor in a local college where I teach Operating Systems and Distributed Computing courses. However, I'm kind of bored and would like to build a side project to try to earn something on the side.

So, what do you need? What can I build for you? I'm looking to build something like a SaaS, maybe an API.. What are some of your pain points? My target are probably other developers, or students, or other teachers, people that I can relate to..

Programming language

* self compiling compiler (self-hosting?).

* self interpreter interpreter (metacircular evaluator)

[from scratch. no parser generator or backends like LLVM, or tools like that, as they hide much info and insight]

Testing

* Fuzzer (for testing, e.g. programming language implementation)

Looking for ideas for SaaS or to make some side money, but thanks!
