Below are some ideas/inspirations for your side projects to practice, but also will be useful for your own use:
👇🧵
A note-taking app that works with your own note-taking style.
Personal website to show off all of the apps you have made.
Budget/expensive tracking app that fits your own spending behavior.
A fitness tracking app (e.g. pushups) that works with your own workout schedule/style.
A real-time chat app that you will use with your GF or family.
Pick a beautiful design from Dribbble and implement it in CSS (or your own Swift UI, Flutter, etc.).
A timer/stopwatch app that you will use.
A news reader app (RSS reader) that fits with your reading habit.
A Chrome/Firefox extension to help you search from your browsing history (this one can be very helpful!)
A habit tracker app that motivates you to learn a new habit every day. Could be a mobile/web/desktop app.
A code snippet manager app where you keep your code snippets and look them up whenever you want, with all the features that fit with your own coding habit/IDE/environment.
A real-time voting app where you can ask a question and create a link to other people to vote on the answers (like what movie should we watch together, etc.)
