Writers block I can definitely understand. Inspiration comes when you least expect it though. Typically in the form of a need like your cell phone dock. Eventually when I upgrade my phone to one that has contactless charging, I'll be doing a similar project. I love what you've done with that. Looking at integrating into a countertop in the kitchen maybe since that's our place for charging phones.
How about a side project to get creativity flowing? Google Assistant Relay is one of my favorites because it opens up a ton of devices that aren't directly compatible with HE at the moment.
