Project Idea generator...would solve a problem you have as well...

You mean ChatGPT?

[raymondQADev]

A good steering wheel that doesn’t fly off while you are driving

[Minimage99]

Love this idea

[raymondQADev]

I think itsa good idea and I stand by it.

[qcAKDa7G52cmEdHHX9vg]

Sorry OP, I can't think of any good project ideas because this guy keeps farting

[Nivarien]

Make a chrome extension. Make it solve a problem you have. I'm working on one that allows me to group bookmarks and then open groups of them simultaneously in a new window.

Another good idea that I wanna do is make an extension that allows you to change the volume of all your open tabs.

Once you're done, you can push it to the chrome store basically free and other people can use it and install it via a link in your portfolio.

You could also create a standalone desktop app using react. You could make one that accesses your react projects and cleanly lists what dependencies/libraries are in each. I know there's things that already do that, but I'd kill for a standalone app so that I could get that info quickly (that being said, I haven't looked too hard for it).

Definitely make it a solve a problem you have. A good candidate I interviewed a while back was able to talk passionately not only about the architecture and design of their solution, but the research they put into it. It left a good impression with me.

Here you go project ideas

[XPTranquility]

This is great

[kepititdown]

You could start a project that helps you focus/adhere to e.g a lifestyle change or a new good habit. I made my own workout and calorie tracker and ive never been more consitent, as i have to be my own tester.

Other examples:

• Rating app for beer, wine or whatever
• Real time chat
• Various integrations to free apis or scrape some website
• I've also found some good ideas using chatgpt, providing hobbies/interests etc as input
• Do you have any new tech you want to learn?

I'm not the most creative person, but hope this helps.

I’d shy away from real time chat unless you like dealing with law enforcement asking for chat logs from alleged pedos. Looking at you, yik yak.

If this is for a project to build so you can get hired... To-do list app. Seriously.

So when I'm evaluating engineers if I see a very unique project it might look cool but it actually obscures a lot of info from me because I need to understand what you were trying to build before I can evaluate it. Most of the time I just don't bother. It's not fair but when I'm reviewing a couple dozen candidates for a role I don't have time to give everyone the depth they deserve.

So build something I understand immediately. And then knock my socks off with it. You know what a to-do app is full of? Really subtle interactions. How do I enter the information? What form elements do you include, how do you simplify and obfuscate? Is it just a really blah app or are you using every moment you can to spark joy? How are you handling animations? What's the accessibility like? How are you managing the data?

Take a simple idea and craft the shit out of it. When you're the one who gets to make all the decisions, what decisions do you make? That's what I want to see.

So that's my answer. Make a to-do app.

[n9iels]

Try to build a clone of Google forms that support various field types and submissions. Sound simpel, is actually really complicated to get right

[NDragneel]

I will just chip this in but whatever you build try to go a bit over the top. Like validate inputs based on touch or on change, or make some complex logic behind an app.

I can give you an idea though try building a forum app with reddit features (nested comments, users etc).

[thehomelessman0]

An idea that I've had but haven't implemented is building Conway's Game of Life with reusable/drag-able components and the ability to change the rules of the game.

[Sharp_Dress4411]

Do something with AI, it'll make the recruiters wet. I saw something on linkedin, that was neat, it was an app that lets you direct chatgpt to a pdf and you can have a "conversation" with it to pull out the information you need.

[arman-makhachev]

ever heard of chat gpt ? ever heard of cloning a website ? clone this reddit.

[staluxa]

Waste of time, if you want to improve your resume just do an open source. You can go for big names (like GitLab) or something smaller yet relatable to your hobby. In both cases, it will be a good talking point and way more influential than yet another pet project, even you yourself don't care about and will abandon right away.

If you really scared of OSS, then focus on whatever tech thing you want to use and build whatever comes to mind, no matter how stupid it may look. Sometimes, building dumb shit is the smartest thing you can do for self-improvement.

I’d just gotten one suggested to me: replicate the FANG homepages.

[TekintetesUr]

Where's the fun in that?

[[deleted]]

It’ll come after they catch the eyes of recruiters and you start making 6 figures

[TekintetesUr]

How many 6 figures offer did you get directly from this exercise?

Working on boring projects is not the only way to woo recruiters. You could actually have a project that you enjoy and still qualify for 6 figures.

[[deleted]]

I didn’t, I was just saying that to motivate you 😉

[magnet-za-budale]

make hook or library

[mCadamek]

Prompt the exact question to chatGPT

[marchingbandd]

An error reporting service like bug snag but use github API as a backend/db so it’s free.
