I didn't say they are "all hype", I said they are "all the hype". I agree they are useful, but over hyped.

LLMs are all the hype but there are plenty of solid computer science projects. Some options that come to mind:

1. Your own DB engine
2. Your own game engine (you can put a cool twist on it - I had a thought of making a game in non-euclidean 3D space)
3. Your own client/server Etc...

A more general option is to look for free APIs and use that is base for ideas.

What topics do you find interesting?

OMG I just realized I can use other people's code so I don't have to write all of it myself.

Jokes aside, cool project!

Half the comments here are part of the sales pitch

I think you might be right. Imagine a fediverse app that allows content creators to self-host videos. They get the generated revenue directly instead of going through the website, they get paid in direct relation to how many videos they serve, and when I see an ad there, I know I am effectively paying the content creator.

Stop! You're making me blush 🤭

Upvoted because Tom Scott

I love that when they explain the word "rizz" they give a list of possible nicknames for rizz-ful people
