Find a idea that meet user's need is really important when you try to start a side project.
My way is to use Google, because every keywords people input Google are represent a real need of them. If there is some keywords related to an idea have large search volume or upward tendency that mean the idea is Good.
My app GoTrends show search volume and their tendency in the last 48 months of every keywords, I think you could try it.
