Early Santa: what is missing in selfhosted (alien.top)

Hi guys! I was wondering:

What self hosted software are you missing? What would you which existed?

Background: I am a quite Senior Dev and have 6 months between gigs. Would be fun to start a side project to keep my skills sharp.

Yes I do. Why not share them open?

Those who could "steal" your idea have plenty themselves, and those who can't steal them are not to worry about ;)

As for myself: I have plenty of ideas, but want to build something people need.

Lol. I'm not worried about people "stealing" open source project ideas. Go for it! Just I have a lot of half formed ones and it's not too clear what you are looking for.

One for example:

I use Bring! which is a great - and simple to use - grocery shopping list app. They refused to open the API though so no HA integration. I think creating an open version of that that works with the new HA list integration would be awesome. You can set up automations to say scan empty bottles from the fridge, and alert you when you go near the grocery store.

Happy to write a design spec or such and do testing but I'm not much of a coder.

I was going to get my kid to make the generic icons, but maybe more like Material theme. Wondering if AI can generate them quickly.
