Ask HN: what should I build

5 points by hiby007 ↗ HN
Hello fellow HN users. I am addicted to this site. like I have formed some kind of a habbit or something.

I am learning to build websites frontend as well as back end.

I am familiar with php codeigniter, and slim framework. I know css fair enough, and use bootstrap and jquery mostly for front end.

I have made smaller apps which can send sms.

now I would like to ask you for some ideas. What should I develop. I have thinked about it a lot, but I can't think of anything that can add value to user. so insights and helpful comments are welcome.

please forgive me for bad english.

what is your goal? Build with a purpose.

Goal is to learn some front end development and more User Interface and Human Interaction oriented design.

Build something you personally would find useful. If you find it useful someone else will.

Well if you can't get enough hn, build something that lets you read this site faster, better, more thoroughly, etc. That shouldn't be too hard, right? ;)

You could add collapsible comments, or sortable comments. Rearrange the front page from a list to a tiled view. However you browse HN, make it better.

Don't look for ideas, look for people that have a problem that they are willing to pay you to solve.

So, the question is "Ask HN: What is a problem you would pay for someone to solve."
