I'm looking for bad ideas for tiny websites and/or apps

That is, I should say, bad business ideas. They could be fine app / sites by themselves. Maybe they're just very small or have a very niche audience. Whatever the reason, they serve a purpose for someone. They'd just not be enough to build a business around.

Why build something that isn't a business when the whole point of this site was to build a business? Astute question, reader person. For skill sharpening, mostly.

I've been digging into the no-code / low-code world this week and though I've played with a number of the tools before, I've never really tried to build a whole thing.

I want to get some small sense if there's really a future where these things take over the development world, or if you'll always have to break out the code. (That is, should the machines of the future help us write code, or help us avoid seeing it at all?)

So I thought I'd try to build a few small things in a few of the tools that look interesting to me for whatever reason (see below for list). My instinct says it's still much harder to get a polished result than the glossy marketing pages would have you believe.

On the other hand, they could be great "back pocket" tools to have once you know their limitations and strengths.

Anyway, I have a few ideas myself but I've thought about them so much over the years that they're kinda old and stale in my head. It would be great if I had something new and weird to build.

That's where you come in. Everyone has an idea (or six) that they've thought about and dismissed for some reason. I'd love to hear it. Maybe I'll take a piece of it or smash it together with one of mine. I'm probably not going to publish any of these, but live demos might be possible.

So if you've got any idea that you'd like to share, even if it's only a faint whisper of an idea, just send me a message on LinkedIn or at info @ this site domain. Merci!
