It is what it says on the tin: give me a problem to solve and I'll try to solve it.
I'm an tech founder/product developer on a break from full time work (more about me https://sonnet.io) and I'm looking for a small project to pick up for the next few weeks, perhaps months. I love building small, user-focused apps/libraries/toys.
What problems am I looking for?
My personal interests are: privacy, healthcare, mental health, publishing... But I'm mostly problem- and tech-agnostic as long as there's real user value in my work. (feel free to check my projects and articles for more context.)
How am I going to work on this?
I'll start with the 2/2/2 rule: 2 hours to spike and see if it's feasible, 2 days to test with the first user, 2 weeks to deliver a beta. Some problems require more time to work on and that's ok -- I'm not married to any methodology, I'm happy to adapt.
PS. I'm not asking for job offers here. I'm looking for project ideas.
Scrape healthcare.gov for health insurance costs/max out of pocket
Scrape the hospital price database and match with each health insurance company.
Calculate the cost of labor and delivery for every insurance company and every hospital. (you likely can easily scale this to other procedures too)
Anyway, if you do this, you will save yourself a ton of money, and I'll even buy the rights to the software to open source it.
