Ask HN: How do you come up with side project ideas in 2024?

Vokabeln.io

My biggest side projects come from being almost mad that a certain project does not exist. For example, I've seen a lot of gif memes on the internet, in which the text was always very badly jumping around and it was very difficult to make them. So I've spent a few hundreds of hours making https://gifmemes.io. (actually as my bc. Project :D) Another project I'm working on right now comes from my frustrations with language learning apps. I don't care about leaderboards/scores/trophies/chatting with ai or whatever. I JUST want to learn enough vocabulary to be able to listen to podcasts and watch Netflix in German. So Anki might be good, right? But it just was so combursome to use, creating the cards or finding good decks. So I'm creating https://vokabeln.io, it's like Anki, but "AI" enhanced. Sentences, word explanations and audios are generated, so adding new words is super easy.

Traefik

Traefik (https://traefik.io/traefik) is also pretty good at this. I've used it to get certs auto-renewed for my projects.
