Ask HN: What to work on while on a US VISA?

[bestinterest]

I am prohibited to make money from sources of income other than my employer while on a US VISA.

I've listed some ideas below, how do I find work which follows the 'Make something people want' motto?

Find non-profits which align with my views and provide free technical services (probably full stack web apps)

Start a non profit specifically for people on VISA's which want to do more good impactful work by matching their skills to volunteer work, like www.volunteermatch.org

Start creating SaaS sites like @levelsio but give them away for free to build experience?

Upskill into AI / Robotics projects - what are good projects that are actually useful?

Work on open source software repositories - what ones make impact?
