Two trends are becoming increasingly apparent in the software development world.

  • It is becoming easier by the day to build a software product.
  • The number of people in search of ideas for those software products is increasing.

With the advent of no-code solutions and the hacker/maker movement, we, more than ever, are recognizing the power of being able to idealize, build, and ship a product that can impact more people than ever in history.

Having a CS degree or knowing a programming language is becoming less of a factor in what you can accomplish with software, so it’s only natural that more people want to try their hand in building something with these technologies. Since you’re at it, why not consider a solution for somebody else’s problems?

When I published the 12 Great Ideas for Programming Projects That People Will Use article, I became even more convinced that people were clamoring for this type of quick start.

The feedback I received was incredible, and I knew I had to find another batch of ideas at least as good as the ones in that article.
