The software that every programmer makes

I am looking for a personal project. One of the things "every programmer" * does. The reason is that most developers tend to work on personal projects that have special features that are interesting to all other developers. Software, for example:

  • Bug Tracking (one done)
  • CMS (done alone)
  • Blog engines (did not do this, do not want to)
  • UI “libraries” and graphical “engines” (often for a crowd of game developers)
  • Password Management Software

I want to do something

  • fun
  • Interesting
  • not particularly difficult (my work is complicated or not clear enough).
  • should not be original in any way
  • preferably an application (i.e. not a website)
