Hey mate,
It's great that you're looking to discover your passion and build cool stuff that helps people! Here are a few options you can explore:
Remember, discovering your passion takes time and exploration. Be open to trying new things, and don't be discouraged if you haven't found your passion yet. Keep experimenting and learning, and eventually, you'll find the path that excites you the most.
I'm going to piggy back off of Jatin's suggestion:
I think this is a great approach! If there's a problem that you really relate to, you're probably going to be more driven to work on it.
You're likely to continue thinking about problems and solutions to whatever you're working on even when you're not working on them, so if you can find something to work on that is interesting to you, it's likely to feel more rewarding and fun to think through. And of course, if you solve a problem that you face on the regular, it's super rewarding to use that solution that you created next time you face the problem — nothing beats scratching your own itch.
In addition to the excellent suggestions from @j471n here, I would recommend a couple of avenues:
HTH, Phil (busy scratching several itches now I'm retired!)
It doesn't annoy me but I can't think of using these tools to build something productive
I won't go in depth ^^
If you're feeling stuck and it seems like you cannot grow in this domain, just sign up for Buildspace Season 5, complete the six weeks, and message me afterward. I can bet your life will change, and you will discover your passion.
Or find someone with expertise in a different domain, perhaps specializing in AI-ML or deep learning, and create something cool to launch on Product Hunt. Building in public provides huge motivation.
For example, you could build software to generate music based on the type of video and synchronize it 😀
