If you are a developer, you probably know this problem well: you have a million ideas for projects, but you do not have time to build all of them.
These used to be scattered across Google Keep, Google Sheets, Obsidian, Todoist, and text files. Now they are tracked here and shared publicly.
Everything is now in one list. Scores are subjective and intentionally rough so I can prioritize what to ship next.
Easiness: 0 = very hard, 10 = very easy.
$$$ potential: 0 = basically no revenue path, 10 = unicorn-scale upside.
Total: easiness + $$$ potential (0-20).
