What should I build?

Hello PH 👋 I've been teaching myself web development for the past year. It was a long journey with a lot of ups and downs. And, one of the biggest problems I've encountered is the tutorial hell. You are watching a tutorial after a tutorial thinking that you are learning but you are not really. The solution for this is building projects on your own, but most code newbies like me don't know what to build. Because of that, I build this project idea generator for people who are learning web development. This is my first project launch, I'd like to hear your feedback, and feel free to ask any questions.

@antonio44936805 Really cool idea! A useful featured maybe would be to also include a link to a corresponding tutorial.

@antonio44936805 @jakob_greenfeld Yes, that can be useful. And maybe something like a list of features that should be implemented for each project idea.

That's nice. Congratulations on this, I really like the idea! When I started learning to code a long time ago the main problem was not lacking tutorials, but understanding that you are making something useless (looks like that's the reason why I hate to-do apps :D) So I always searched for any micro-product ideas which I can build on my own using current knowledge and existing tutorials to learn something new and actually show it to people and get feedback. That's the most important thing when you start IMHO. It could be nice if people could share their pain points which could be solved by simple web apps and let people who are learning build something and show their creations to the world eventually. Anyway, current ideas are already much better than "Let's build another to-do app!"

Thank you for the kind words, Roman! I agree with you and I've encountered the same problems as you. I built this app in less than a day, and I've got good feedback so far. I made this for practice and learning, but maybe will add more features and make it more useful and less buggy.
