Re:Ask HN: How did you find your great side project idea? by WorksOfBarry on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @08:22PM (#14964366)
My first long term project (greatest yet) started in January this year. It's an extension to Notepad++ which makes into a lightweight IDE - sort of.

The reason it was created is because the only stable option for developing on this specific platform was to buy an IDE from IBM. My goal is to provide a free option to developers.

This project only started because I couldn't afford the IBM product.
