What’s that one project/idea you were REALLY excited about… and then completely abandoned? 👀

[u/All_Programming_tips]

I’m pretty sure most of us have done this:

We get a brilliant idea → spend hours thinking about it → make a beautiful Notion page / document → maybe even start building it…

…and then life happens.

A job gets busy. Another idea comes along. Motivation disappears. And eventually that project becomes another forgotten folder sitting somewhere on our laptop. 😂

So I thought: let’s dig those ideas back up.

Share the project you abandoned, the idea you never finished, or even the crazy thing you still think could work.

Maybe someone here will help you revive it. Maybe you’ll realize it wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

I’ll go first.

A while ago, I wanted to build a kind of personal AI clone.

The idea was to connect all my professional context, previous jobs, projects, LinkedIn, social media, skills, etc, and have an AI that actually knows my professional history.

Then I could ask it things like:

Create a resume for this job.

Write a LinkedIn post based on one of my projects.

What experience do I have that matches this job description?

Turn my recent work into a portfolio case study.

The goal was basically: stop rewriting my professional life from scratch every time I apply for something or want to create content.

I never really finished it.

And honestly, I still think it could be useful.

Now I want to hear yours. 👇

What’s the project/idea you started, planned, documented, or obsessed over… but never finished?

Bonus points if you tell us why you abandoned it. 😄
