I built http://feedsub.com for this reason. Only a few users, but it indexes thousands of feeds and I make plenty of use out of it for myself.
My current project is deploying this app on a Raspberry Pi based cluster, and I'm going to write all the software for this myself to learn distributed programming.
- Make things that seem interesting/fun to you.
Borrowing ideas from other people seems unlikely to be very engaging, and making things just to learn skills has the same problem.
Lacking side project ideas seems kind of incomprehensible to me, as I have far more ideas than I could ever put into practice, even if I didn't need to work for a living. Therefore, I suspect you do have suitable ideas, but maybe aren't recognising them as such for some reason?
Scripting repetitive or annoying things is an easy place to start. Maybe start with simple website-improver GreaseMonkey scripts, to fix things that bug you, or make your life easier?

Why do we still have to open our calendars, look through endless event notes to copy and paste a link into a browser that then launches the native meeting app? That's why I built an app called Meeter [0] for that.
