Someone has already submitted a pull request changing the readme so that it says he'll accept nothing. However, I think this can be rejected under the "don't be a dick" rule.
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.
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. - Ap…
It's called an office manager. Combined with an expense account for the company.
> - App for finding which stores are open at 11pm (or on Sunday in places where most things are closed on Sunday)
It's called Foursquare. Bonus, it does this for a radius around your current location and when it doesn't have official data, it makes a guess based on check-in data.
> - Swarm - Reverse how people get taxis, register that you're looking for a taxi and expose to taxi drivers where all the people are
It's [probably] called the Uber/Lyft interface from the drivers' side.
> - Reverse registry - wedding registries are obnoxious...register your gift so that people don't buy the same thing.
Haven't reached the Omg Everyone Is Getting Married age, but I'm sure this also exists already.

There's a contradiction buried in there somewhere.
You're really just in the market for inspiration.
Maybe build a program that randomly generates project ideas you can thumbs up or thumbs down. Maybe just mash together subjects and predicates from other github project descriptions into some kind of project madlibs. It could at least be entertaining.

I have a bit of the opposite problem - I have too many things I could be doing, and not nearly enough energy to do anything beyond the one project I'm working on. I'll tell you how I got there: every time I'd get annoyed, or see someone else get annoyed, I made an effort to imagine what would it take to make the problem go away. Once I achieve a decisive imaginary victory by any means, I start walking back from there…
Recently I have been thinking a lot along these lines, and I came up with somewhat similar approach. When I stuck at coming up with ideas, I make a list of what I would do if I would have time/power/resources of:
- God - literally ability to fix any problem, do anything imaginable.
- Google - billions of dollars and smartest people in the world
- Elon Musk or Richard Branson - millions of dollars, decades of time to plan for
- 10 years and 10 million dollars
- 5 years and 200k
I've recognized that my lack of ideas comes from me "filtering out" everything too expensive or too hard or too uncertain, and making such list helps me to get rid of that. Think of a project ideas from the opposite direction, not "what can I do now", but "what needs to be done", and then solve it from there.

No office manager I've ever had would purchase anything and then seek divided reimbursement from individuals in the office.
