what am i supposed to make that will make my life a bit better: an automatic doomscroller? scoffs
One heuristic is to think of what problems you face in daily life, and imagining a way to deal with them with technology. Problems don't have to be big, and your solution doesn't have to be perfect, just helpful enough.
"omg Netflix's recommendations suck" -> Personal recommender system
"omg I want to watch this movie, but I have to search all of the streaming services individually to find out if it's even available" -> Scraper
"I have lots of tasks to do, but want them to interface with my calendar and follow a particular priority, and remind me according to some set of rules" -> To Do list
Build small things and write about them. Eventually some will find success and you can choose to keep building or not.
