About this list

I made this list thinking of projects that can be approached in different ways, technologies and features. Because of this, I added a few suggestions of things you can focus on to give you some ideas.

Who is this list for

I have tagged the projects with orientative levels but you can increase or decrease the difficulty very easily.

This list is for you if you are...
...a junior developer trying to practice their skills.
...learning a new technology and you need a simple project to experiment with.
...lost in tutorial hell and you need a break from watching but you want to keep building up your coding skills.
...building a portfolio to start applying to jobs.
...looking for side projects to do for fun.
