    "You should build a modern, self-hosted RSS feed manager specifically for tech news.

    Most existing readers are either too bloated or too simple. A great project would be a tool that aggregates global technology feeds but uses a local AI/LLM to filter out the noise, summarize long articles, and categorize them automatically.

    I’ve been experimenting with similar ideas in my own Linux lab (Kaoslabs), and there is definitely a need for a lightweight, 'smart' dashboard that gives you a clean overview of the tech world without the social media chaos. It's a perfect project for combining web dev, VPS management, and AI."

    Make a free advertisement service for stuff that doesn't make money. free and/or open source things etc perhaps non profits.

    Users can pick their desired ad format, copy the js and paste it where they would usually put their ads.

    Then it rotates banners, antennas, buttons and skyscrapers advertising useful things.

    I failed to make this before image generators. I discover many if not most FOSS projects have zero banners and it might even be hard to find artwork to fill the boxes.

    Today it is easy:

    Could also do a developer version that promotes bug trackers, mailing lists and repositories.

    What do you need? What do others need? Make something you or others want.
