One of the coolest things you can do today is work on stuff that’s pretty damn niche. You shouldn’t do it for the fame and attention, that’s not the point of working on niche stuff. The point is that you can fix problems and resolve annoyances that no one else is interested in dealing with.
Everyone seems to be busy building these big things, and that’s fine. But you should not discount what you can do when you start solving specific, small problems. Think about it: you just might have fixed a massive personal annoyance, which can be very rewarding. Best case scenario? You may have found a business opportunity.
My latest solo projects, many of which are not public, are just little things I made for myself that I love working on. For example: small apps that do the thing I want them to do, just for myself. I have also been working on PRs for projects I enjoy using, or mods for apps or games I find fun. All in all, super niche things. Yet super nice, too.
