I've got a bunch of random ideas for projects in my notes. Here are a few of the more interesting ones.
Cookbookbook would be a "social" website for recipes. I know there are millions of cooking websites out there already (I even briefly had a food blog ~10 years ago).
But searching, collecting, and sharing recipes is an awful user experience today. Really, I want something web-based and text-focused like HN or Tildes but for recipes.
As a new dad, I've gotten to read a lot of really fun kids books. I thought it might be cool to try and make one which takes concepts from coding interview prep like leetcode or cracking the coding interview, and turns it into bite-size books that kids can still enjoy while parents learn something new! Not sure if this is an amazing idea or some sort of SF tech bro dystopian one.
It took my longer than I care to admit to remember what I meant by TypeWriterScript in my notes.
I think that the idea here was writing a language that could compile to TS that looks like this:
# Hello World
This is an example of a hello world in TypeWriterScript.
console.log("Hello World!");
The idea here is that the documentation (either in plaintext or markdown maybe) and the code are one in the same, but written with the docs being any unindented lines. The indented lines would be valid TS.
Essentially, I could write a blog post that is perfectly valid TypeWriterScript.
Credit for the name on this one goes to my amazing wife.
This would be a mobile game that uses your daily step count to solve Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Your step count would be used to power Holmes traveling around London getting clues to solve the crimes (so you can play at home or wherever).
Anyways, that's it for ideas for now.
