Hi guys, I've got a different sort of question for all of you today. I'm looking for ideas on a project to present my skills (as I've been working hard recently to push myself beyond current limitations) hoping for a brighter future. The thing is that after a ton of brainstorming with other people and even more googling it seems that everything worth doing in rails already has a gem/plugin for it.
I'm fed up with fiddling with the 100th app in my "sandbox" folder that will never see the light of day and/or is reinventing the wheel for the sole purpose of self-betterment. This time I'd like to get even better at what I'm doing creating something that will be useful for someone else not just me bragging over a beer to my php coder friends how awesome Rails is.
I know its kinda offtopic but I'm desperate for ideas guys. I need something that isn't the next attempt at social networking or something common like that (not that it's bad or anything. It's just that every coder I know at some point at least thought about doing it) .
Thanks in advance,
