What are you working on? Any new ideas which you're thinking about?

Nothing because I'm terrible at coming up with useful ideas for something to code.

I'd like to volunteer for a software project but I struggle to find good ways of locating a project that interests me.

I was in a similar boat some months ago but realized my inability to come up with good ideas was really just me getting frustrated by previous side-projects I didn't finish or got bored by.

What helped me get unstuck and get my creativity back up was setting myself constraints, like whatever I work on today, I'll ship it today, or let's try to make an intentionally useless bash script in 20 minutes.
