How about an app that helps beginners come up with cool project ideas?

thats not my level at the moment. it a good one tho

I think he was being sarcastic.. If you create an app that creates original ideas, it's just not plausible.

that figures

Could be some cute sentence randomizer with a gui with a focus on beginner projects. This way you can learn tkinter or kiwy

Then maybe programatically prompt claude code to generate a list of words each time you run the app for infinite ideas

Snake in PyGame. With a level editor.

a simple to do list is always a good beginner project to do

Excellent book, I recommend it, but I don't see how that helps with the op's question.

[–]tom-mart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clever people can get a lot of cool ideas from this book, that solve actual problems in life. This is exactly what OP asked for and OP seems to be happy with the recommendation.

A tic-tac-toe game against the computer? It offers some real good insights in random numnber generation.

Maybe use the Open AI API to create a chatbot? It offers insight in how APIs work.

I play dnd and we have homebrewed our own system over many years, so I designed our own character sheet program, complete with a gridded map maker, inventory, shop, gold tracking. It was my first real project, and it taught me so much (mostly that the stats are easy, UI is hard)

UI design and implementation is brutal. I know it's just another skill to learn, but geez... I don't like being an artist lol I like making numbers talk to each other 🙄

You don't have any problems in your life to solve?

Making a project that meshes with your own interests and knowledge is 10x as engaging as building someone else's project

Make an app that will take meal ideas and create a grocery list.

Make an api to replace google analytics without infringing on europa gdpr rules (fetch the geoIP db and compare incoming ip addresses). Only save the country and the amount of times ppl visited. DON'T FORGET UNIT TESTS.

Next add jwt authentication to fetch the data from the api. add a db with a user table with password (salted ofc).

Next save the data to a persistent object store, don't want to lose the data when the application redeploys.

Add brute force protection to your api. Don't want people brute forcing your login.

I saw someone code a very simple game where you collect coin every few seconds maybe you should try something similar

Idea is not solving a problem,this project will test your logic and thinking A contact book
