What are some app ideas that you think would benefit people on a perosnal level?

I am honestly so eager to build an app but I haven't got any plan as to what I would build. I'm thinking that this app should be on mobile so that I can learn React Native. Any tips on anything are greatly appreciated!

I've mentioned this here and elsewhere, but it's an app where you specify a word or phrase, and get a notification when someone else is nearby and has the same word or phrase set. Seems like a nice starter app. Good luck on your journey!
