I thought I would give this thread some time to mellow out. I can't see your email address in your profile. I am in the Bay Area, as I believe you are. Currently not working and have a good deal of spare time.
Would you mind having a quick email to perhaps see if we can colab on something?
I am sure you got a lot of comments and thought that at one time your email was listed, and now it is unlisted. I won't take up much of your time, but I too am bored with where I am at, and want to do something that is not driven by money as the sole reason to do it.
I have a few ideas that are not unique in any way. The ideas themselves may not even be all that fun or challenging aside from the technical aspects of scale. Most would need to scale as large as many of the largest trafficked sites popular today.
What I think would be fun is the challenge of entering a market that is owned by only one player. Being the #2 is not always a bad thing, and shooting to make your #2 the new #1 sounds really fun. To me, it becomes about execution of the idea, which is the fun part.
Any idea will eventually become boring, you will complete it, and the challenge of starting will be over. Growing and executing your idea different from how it ever has been done is what motivates me.
If you at all would not mind having a short email or two, maybe there is something we can work out.
It wasn't in there. Your email is missing as well. I just updated.
Personally I'm not big on ideas that absolutely require scale to succeed. As for market, it really depends on the market and idea as a whole. I prefer consumer facing companies that are not vertical specific.
