You want to build an amazing side project but you don’t know where to start.

❌ TODO app?
❌ Clone of that other app that you use?
❌ Tutorial project?
When I’m not sure what I want to build, I do this:

Start with the data - what API can you use which may have some interesting information?
What features can you construct around the API? For example, a real time stock API could be used to trigger an alert to a user when it dips below a certain threshold
Figure out the minimal amount of features
What is the user flow? What happens when a user goes to your app? What is the feature they interact with and how is the data surfaced?
Pick a combination of new and familiar technologies
Get stuck, read the docs and build your way out of the hole you’ve dug 😅
Gain more practical knowledge than a 100 hour course could ever offer you
