Before we dive into today’s 5 new ideas, we have something big to share.

Over the last 10 issues, we’ve published 50 project ideas — all designed to help software engineers start building.

But here’s the thing…

Many of you told us you still haven’t found your idea yet.

So, we decided to fix that.

✨ Introducing No Idea → noidea.one

It’s a growing library of real-world, ready-to-build project ideas — each small enough for a weekend, but big enough to become something real.

If you’ve been waiting for the right idea to start your next side project…
this is where you’ll find it.

Today’s theme is about Build-before-it-breaks

This week is about preemptive systems—tools that step in before failure costs you a user, a promotion, or a day’s work.

These ideas emerged from patterns we keep seeing in developer forums, remote-work communities, and growth chats: surprise policy rejections on r/androiddev, brutal home-internet drops during client calls, ad fatigue spirals in media-buyer Slack groups, silent burnout on distributed teams, and lost work from sudden brownouts shared by freelancers worldwide.

Each idea here turns early signals into timely action.

If you’ve been burned by a preventable failure, pick one of these and build the safety net you wish existed. The moment it saves someone once, you’ll have a believer—and a customer.
