Software Project Ideas

A desktop application for macOS that simplifies the creation and management of custom command-line tools. Users can define modular commands with reusable components, streamlining daily tasks and enhancing productivity.

A lightweight, open-source library and CLI tool for developers to easily implement and manage rate limiting on their APIs, preventing overload and ensuring system stability. It provides configurable rules and real-time monitoring.

A web application that aggregates and visualizes data on AI degree programs and enrollment across US universities, providing insights for students, educators, and employers to understand the evolving AI talent landscape. It leverages data visualizations from the '2025 AI Degree Report' to offer a roadmap for AI workforce development.

An improved version of Phone-Site, focusing on a more robust and user-friendly experience for hosting simple web servers directly from a smartphone. It will add features like domain mapping using dynamic DNS, basic security settings, and a cleaner UI/UX. Marketed towards developers, hobbyists, and users needing temporary access to a web server on the go.

Leveraging the MCL concept, this tool allows users to define custom command-line tools with reusable modules. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating and managing custom commands, simplifying daily workflows, particularly for macOS users. Similar to the MCL project but with an easier-to-use GUI and more comprehensive module management.

A lightweight, customizable rate limiting service for APIs, addressing the concerns highlighted about request floods. It allows developers to easily configure rate limits based on various factors (IP address, API key, user ID) and provides comprehensive monitoring and alerting capabilities. This helps protect APIs from overload and malicious attacks.

A platform providing detailed data visualizations and insights into AI education trends, mirroring and expanding upon the '2025 AI Degree Report'. It allows users (e.g., universities, companies) to identify leading states and schools for AI talent, track program growth, and forecast future workforce needs. The platform could offer premium features like customized reports and predictive analytics.

A platform for researchers and developers to store, share, and benchmark novel algorithms, specifically addressing the rapid advancements in areas like matrix multiplication as demonstrated by AlphaEvolve. Supports versioning, collaboration, and automated analysis of performance.

A software solution for financial institutions and merchants concerned about data privacy amidst shifting credit card interchange fee regulations. It provides an anonymization and pseudonymization layer for consumer spending data while preserving loyalty program functionality.

A centralised platform to streamline DevOps workflows, providing automated orchestration of common tasks, real-time monitoring of pipelines, and intelligent alerts based on performance and security metrics. Integrates with popular CI/CD tools.

A SaaS platform specializing in automated auditing and hardening of secure enclave configurations and code, addressing the recent vulnerabilities highlighted. It proactively identifies and mitigates exploitation vectors, offering continuous security compliance reporting.

A platform that leverages LLMs and evolutionary algorithms to optimize complex mathematical or scientific models. Inspired by AlphaEvolve's advancements in matrix multiplication, this solution offers automated model refinement in various fields.

A network routing and security assessment tool that identifies and flags potentially compromised network devices (e.g., TP-Link routers) based on threat intelligence feeds and security best practices, addressing concerns about vendor ties.

A parental control and digital wellbeing application that helps parents manage their children's social media usage and online activity, aligning with Denmark's social media ban for under-15s. Includes usage time limits, content filtering, and parental monitoring features.

A software solution designed to proactively monitor and alert organizations to potential cyberattacks, leveraging vulnerability scanning and threat intelligence to mitigate incidents before they escalate, inspired by the RTV Noord hack.
