I’m a solo developer brainstorming products/tools/apps to build, and I’ve noticed the best ideas usually come from tiny everyday frustrations people just accept.

So I’m curious:

What’s something you genuinely wish existed — even if it sounds oddly specific?

Could be:
a website
app
physical product
AI tool
workflow hack
automation
health/wellness tool
book/movie/music tool
something for parents, couples, work, hobbies, etc.

Bonus points if:

\- you’ve searched for it and couldn’t find it
\- current solutions suck
\- it feels “obvious” but somehow nobody built it well yet

A few examples of ideas I’ve seen people want:
\- Spotify-style discovery for books
\- AI that organizes your thoughts without feeling robotic
\- Smarter meal planning based on what’s already in your fridge
\- A “life admin” dashboard for bills, appointments, subscriptions, reminders, etc.
\- Better tools for reducing doomscrolling without deleting social media entirely

I’m especially interested in problems people would actually pay to solve, not just “cool AI demos.”

Curious what annoys people enough that they’d immediately try a better solution.
