im really tempted to quit my job and make this thing that has no potential for income.

50% of it is dissatisfaction with my day job. It pays the bills but i spend all of my time cleaning up after devs that are long gone.

50% is i want this project idea to exist. honestly i just want to make things. i dont remember the last time i just made a thing.

based asl. quit & do what you want. make an actual difference in the world & have fun doing it. or keep your job to stay alive & start working on it as a side project. thats like the sensible advice I suppose.
