What will we actually do?

We've spent some time now coming up with various ideas (see the product tag on our Loomio), and I think in order to move forward, we need to figure out what we're actually going to be doing. Let's use this thread to make a decision.
I don't really have many particular parameters to use for our decision-making, but I believe we can be guided by both our interests and values here. The main constraints are:
Can the folks who are available actually work on this? (I, personally, can't work on anything that competes with MSFT products, which I know is a pretty wide net to cast)
Do we believe this can be a reasonably lucrative product? In the end, we have to do a capitalism if we want to spread its benefits around.
Can we bootstrap this without significant external investment? Co-ops are notoriously hard to get external investors for, and even if it wasn't the case, VC is out of the question for me because of its toxicity.
Please reply with any other major constraints that you think we should be applying, and otherwise, let's discuss!

Giving more priority to software-only projects that don't have a lot of good options currently

I'm primarily interested in products that are the polar-opposite of what I currently do in my day-to-day, and can occupy different parts of my brain.

Finally get on Loomio, and the poll I meant to vote in closed like 12 minutes ago? Oops.
