Ask HN: Side project ideas

I have a couple ideas for side projects and would love to get feedback.

The ideas are:

1. A poor-man’s cloud storage. The idea is that instead paying monthly for cloud storage you buy this small IoT device and connect usb drives on IT and your files are available to you over the internet. If you want redundancy you can choose to backup you drives to the drives of other users(encrypted of course).

2. A back to basics email service. Text only, whitelist only, with unlimited random one time email addresses. Emails will not reach the user’s inbox unless the sender’s email is explicitly whitelisted(or the user has emailed them first). For online registrations user’s will be able to request one time emails. Nothing fancy really.
