One thing that has worked for me for over 30 years (when you have a lack of a fresh idea) is to just recreate and try to improve on something you admire that someone else made. Pay special attention to products you pay for or use for “free” but are not solely owned by you (25 years ago I was amazed by all this free stuff people were giving to me, being perhaps too naive to think there were no strings attached or unwanted side effects). Use some cloud based product? Build a locally hosted version. Paying for an app that is useful, but not quite worth the subscription? Try building it. Some may be harder than you think, perhaps not even worth it. Some may already be available in other free alternatives, but maybe it’s worth while just making it your own anyways. The worst thing that happens is you learn something exploring new problem domains and trying new technologies or techniques.
