Ask HN: If this was your last project, what would you build?

The project i am working on right now: gethly.com - a hosting and sales platform for digital content creators(paywall, similar to patreon). It is done, I am just continuing working on it(liked adding mobile UI today/tomorrow or soon supporting content hosted elsewhere). I first touched html 25 years ago, so I have been in the programming and internet "game" for quite some time and have seen how the internet has changed. And so I do not think I will be doing any more projects. I think I have reached the end of my road and this is it for me as I do not see internet being business-viable any longer. Certainly not like it used to be in the golden days of 2000s and 2010s, before Facebook and Tinder. That is where it all started to go to shit(not saying it is related, just the time frame).

Most likely interactive fiction, but made more interactive with LLMs or something.

You guys can save the world; I've had enough of that in my career. I started programming to build simulations. I put simulations in my MIT application essay. I started playing with sensors and apps to build simulations and have handheld computers. I didn't intend to be making fintech stuff and crime fighting tools. I just wanted to make little pocket cities and super interactive stuff.

Something which would help me be "aware" in real life of finite ness of life. Like the computer break utils (TimeOut on Mac/ Stretchly etc) which can help disconnect from the screen in front of you, even for a bit of time, and force you outside of whatever you are currently engaged on in the screen.
