this might be a joke, but this is a serious problem i have as well. i want to create something, but i don't know what to do.. there is nothing i need that is not already done, or at least thats why i think.

You get ideas from building things. Go help someone else's project or build something that already exists for practice. Ideas will come to you when you are in the throes of something else.

I feel like there should be a general dumping ground for cool-but-as-yet-unimplemented-ideas. It could be for people who have an idea, but don't know how to build it, or just don't have the time, but really want it to exist. You'd probably have to immediate make the idea is Creative Commons or some other license when you posted it though.

Here are some of my super secret ideas that will help you take over the world. If you use any of these ideas you agree to remember me when you get rich (you don't actually have to give me any money, just drink champagne and think happy thoughts about me)

- Group purchasing for work - what if you wanted to break the cost of a Foosball table up over a group of people. It's cheap if you have enough people involved.

- App for finding which stores are open at 11pm (or on Sunday in places where most things are closed on Sunday)

- Swarm - Reverse how people get taxis, register that you're looking for a taxi and expose to taxi drivers where all the people are

- Reverse registry - wedding registries are obnoxious...register your gift so that people don't buy the same thing.
