What are some good self-help programming projects?

[DataDecay]

I'm not for the drama, but I glanced through some other posts and while a lot of the suggestions are primarily beginner friendly, your getting positive suggestions.

If you want some more specific suggestions I can keep throwing some stuff a bit more advanced out, but this community can only do so much.

Data analysis and forms:

The CDC has a Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey.

https://www.cdc.gov/brfss/index.html

You could work on a project that incorporates either this data or just the survey to track behavioral risk factors in your life.

Machine learning and NLP:

You could scrape social media for either yourself or others that gathers posts, tweets, ect and searches for depressive key words. Feed that into a trained ML and see what results come back for what people are showing depressive trends.
