I've wanted to build this for a while: favicon/icon as a service. Enter a domain, and get back an icon to represent the site. Could be a favicon, or a high-res application icon captured from meta tags. There are solutions to this now, but none of them are rock solid. You will end up pulling a hero image for twitter half the time. Params could include the size icon you are looking for, a good fallback, etc. Imagine a…

Not necessarily anything new, but I've been looking for a clean and simple todo / project planning web application for an affordable price and ideally e2e encrypted. From what I've seen most solutions that look appealing are focused on teams and have set their pricing accordingly. I just need a todo app that goes a little further with a kanban board, sprints. Full e2ee would be the cherry on top.
I use Todoist and have beeen happy with it. You can even do a kanban board.

Although it doesn't have a kanban board (at this stage), our goal is of course to offer a good solution for everything related to planning and scheduling.
We're strongly considering e2e encryption, but we're not 100% sure yet, because other features like CALDAV integration and server-side search are not compatible with e2e. The app runs entirely locally and syncs in the background (via CRDT), so it's super responsive.
Nothing wrong with outsourcing ideas, but if you don't have itches to scratch, perhaps there are various qualities you should be improving before implementing a random idea from an internet forum?
For example I always write down my MVP ideas, and keep them indefinitely. This also requires being observant and proactive about the world around you.
I'd pay $5-ish per month for social media if it came with no ads or data harvesting - just a more privately scoped version of Facebook with some of the useful bits like event scheduling and discussion groups. Of course the problem is getting non-technical people to value their attention and privacy at more than $5/month in order to catalyse the network effects.
Today I'm paying $20 for Marginalia while I wait for Kagi (and because I love Marginalia and the ideas behind it).
I'd probably pay for a "cloud provider with seatbelts" too for learning/testing (e.g. "GCP"/"AWS"/"Azure" but without the possibility to empty my bank account. Bonus if it let me attempt that without doing it and immediately tell me I messed up, etc.)
Edit: there are probably a number of other things I would buy if I could buy them in the form of tokens, not a monthly subscription. I have serious subscription fatigue so I try to only pay subscribtions for stuff that I love or need.)
I am willing to pay $5-$10 a month for a service that provides quality suggestions for low-price subscription SaaS businesses.
I have paid about $5 a month for a couple of years for the most promising Google+ replacement I could find at the time. At some point after sending feedback multiple times on a specific pain point I gave up.)
