Ask HN: Where can I find ideas on what to build (for fun)

6 points by acheong08 ↗ HN
I’ve been somewhat bored and can’t find anything to do. Is there anywhere I can find something like a “software wishlist” from which I can gather ideas?

I'll repeat my answer to the previous iteration[1] of this question from a couple of weeks ago:

You might find something of use in some of this stuff:

In addition, the two videos on "How to Invent the Future" by Alan Kay might be inspirational to you (or anybody else thinking about this topic):

Part I - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id1WShzzMCQ&list=PLoROMvodv4...

Part II - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e8VZlPBx_0&list=PLoROMvodv4...

Actually, this entire playlist is quite interesting, even if you're not looking to launch a startup right now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e8VZlPBx_0&list=PLoROMvodv4...
