Weird question. Rewrite whatever you feel like writing. You have to have an internal drive rather than something derived from outside of yourself.
You aren't being paid for your work, so there has to be some other incentive. Whether that is just some mental challenge, or the acclamation of your peers.
Basic autonomous drone software a la Ardupilot or INAV. Look at replicating ardupilot's auto tuning for new vehicles to tune in flight characteristics. And add an API to send flight instructions to the flight controller from something like a Jetson.
You could take the best from the various drone software packages (OSS and proprietary) and make something really special that could power the next generation of autonomous vehicles that rely heavily on local AI.
visual basic but using react/react native or similar modern frameworks. Enable developers to drag and drop components but can also right click to edit the code seamlessly
I miss FoxPro; I learned it while studying CS and created applications that could empower mom-and-pop stores. It could manage their inventory, handle invoicing, and generate basic sales reports for them.
FoxPro was simple yet remarkably powerful.
Not all are fair. Grab acquired Uber's operations in SE Asia.
They lied on the app about how long the cars would arrive, so people opted for Grab when booking on both platforms. They'd offer bonuses to drivers that were impossible to obtain (e.g. drive to a location without road access). They'd offer X in bonuses then pay out 0.7X, taking a cut from the promised bonuses and from tips. Uber would loan money to drivers and then let the drivers they banned keep the loan. Grab would withhold payment to drivers, ban drivers who got less than say, 4.5 rating, then not pay out the drivers they banned.
All fair game, all legal. The rough play helped them win, or so they think.
I've had requests from 3 people who wanted to build a ride hailing app. It's not worth the time and I'd discourage anyone who thinks they could stand up to Grab with just implementation ability. But if there was a code base, I'm sure some would be happy to take the mantle.
It's that and more. The tech is a moat. The business model is another moat.
Part of the problem is the business model allows for some shady practices like selling $1 services for $0.80 to kill competitors (like the taxi industry and other startups in the same space). Then raising prices to $1.30 over 20 years.
I don't think it works though. It just ends up with everyone dead and us buying enshittified taxis at 2-3x the price later because nobody else has a ride sharing app.
So many people wishing for VB6. While that wish makes sense, you should give Gambas [1] a try first. It may already have what you seek - or may be a trivial addition.
Thats a really interesting product. In my past job I used a lot of CAN analysis tools and most of them were windows only. We ran win VMs on our dev laptops to do real time debugging. Germans really dominate in this space

I'm actually starting to play around with Lazarus to see if it's a reasonable replacement.

They have a decent model for visual editing and letting you drop down to React.

Serial comms tool with buttons to send pre-defined commands. One of the only tools I miss from windows.
The Linux kernel. ;-)
Coreboot to this date still relies on the Google Chromebook's dump from more than a decade ago.
And it's probably the hardest reverse engineering challenge, because Intel isn't offering any details.
