Open Source Ideas I Want to Build
· One min read
Rough list of things I keep coming back to. Nothing shipped yet — just thinking out loud.
CLI tool for X
A small terminal utility that does Y. The problem I keep running into is Z.
- Research existing tools
- Sketch out the interface
- Prototype in Go or Rust
Library idea
Something like lodash but for [domain]. Not sure if there's enough of a gap to justify it.
Questions I haven't answered yet
- Is the problem real enough to warrant a tool?
- Who else would use it?
- What's the minimal version I could ship in a weekend?
More thinking needed.
