I was asking myself a similar question for quite awhile. With a young child, I don't have a lot of time so it limits the type of product I can build. So I tried to reverse the question: With the time that I do have, what could I build?
The answer so far is a journaling product. It's simple. Use your phone's text message capabilities to write in a journal. The text messages get saved to the database. Your journal is always in your pocket. It sends you a daily prompt with a different thought provoking question each day.
My hope is it will require minimal support when I launch it. And it's something I can build slowly.
With side projects, it's easy to get into a bad habit of always rushing and pushing yourself to get more done. It took me a long time to realize building at your own pace is an acceptable thing to do. It's amazing what you can build with an hour every day if you're consistent. And if you don't have time to work on your product for a few days, that's fine too.
