I love programming but I'm terrible at coming up with my own ideas for useful things to make that haven't already been done many times over. I don't particularly like making things for myself as I don't really have a need for much, I prefer to make things for other people, but finding those people (with good ideas), is very difficult.

My advice would be to make things even though it’s been done before. You might have a different perspective, or you can use it as an exercise to hone your skills. Many projects are just throwaways, like an illustrator might doodle. The goal would be to get better with your tools and keep the creativity flowing, even if it’s not going to turn into your next unicorn startup.
