There are Kaggle contest if you want to get into data. You can also search for social hackathons if you want to do some good for the world. You can go outside and talk to people, listen to their problems and use your programming skills to solve them. You can build tools to solve your pain points. You can try to take classes on Udacity and Cousera to see if you get any inspiration for projects. Maybe make some contributions to opens source projects. Games don't have to be beautiful, look at Minecraft. There are a lot of tutorials online about making 3D models, illustrator, etc. You only get better at things by doing them.

Just sent you a gtalk connect request - from my username at gmail dot com Id be happy to show you what my little bootstrapped team is building, though actually, we need mysql and backend php.

Name your preferred domains and interest areas. BTW it's best to scratch your own itch.

Maybe you should build sumting that relives you of your boredom. Maybe the next angry birds ?

I am not much into game programming. I edited the post to reflect that. Do you have any suggestion?

in the middle of writing you a mail.

A daily email digest of HN, sent to the user on a specific time he/she wishes, with all of the links (including Ask HN), sorted by points.

How about a browser plugin that lets you mark as interesting a certain comment or even part of a comment. Some threads are very long with one hundred replies or more and we'd appreciate a quick highlights. Like a sports game recap video.

Mostly done already via http://www.hackernewsletter.com/

Isn't that weekly? It'd be cool to have a daily one.

:) Nice.

Please develop a mobile app for my web app http://weekplan.net The web app userbase is growing and I can't keep up with the development.

There is already an API although it is not documented yet. Contact me if you are interested.

I wrote http://hirehub.me on side, its getting traction in India. You can contact me if you would like to contribute. I have made it mostly for startup, because startups cannot afford high prices.

P.S Built completely in Rails

I'd love to see a mobile game for couples that is asynchronous and collaborative.

I was asked over the weekend if I knew someone who could build an app to run on Android and iPhone. Not a game, but a data-gathering, easy-to-use app.

My email is in my profile.

Are you interested in working with others or just want to do something solo? I have some ideas, but obviously I'd like to be involved somewhat.

Either. Tell me what do you have in mind?

You should add an email to your profile, that way people can reach you :)

My email is my username at gmail

a chrome /firefox plugin that finds plain text links (without <a> tags) Easy and pretty usable instead of highlighting copy -> paste the url or email. If you don't make I will :D

:) That should be an hour spent well

Someone upvote this so more people can see it and reply

same problem with TS, looking for a side project. I write Perl/Python(Flask).

an erlang IDE.
