## :ledger: App Ideas Collection
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Have you ever wanted to build something but you had no idea what to do? Just as
|
|
authors sometimes have "writers block" it's also true for developers. This list is intended to solve this issue once and for all! 👍
|
|
|
|
These applications are:
|
|
|
|
- great to improve your coding skills :muscle:;
|
|
- great to experiment with new technologies 🆕;
|
|
- great to be added in your portfolio to impress your next employer/client :file_folder:;
|
|
- great to be used as examples in tutorials (articles or videos) :page_with_curl:;
|
|
- easy to complete and also easily extendable with new features :ok_hand:;
|
|
|
|
This is intended not only to be a simple list of projects, but a list that
|
|
describes each project in enough detail so you can develop it from the ground up!
|
|
|
|
Each project has the following **features**:
|
|
|
|
1. A clear and descriptive objective;
|
|
2. A list of _User Stories_ which should be implemented; (these stories act more as a guideline than a forced list of _To-Do's_. Fell free to add your own features if you want);
|
|
3. A list of bonus features that can improve the base project;
|
|
4. All the necessary resources and useful links;
|
|
|
|
## Projects
|
|
|
|
Projects are divided into three tiers based on the knowledge and experience
|
|
required to complete them.
|
|
|
|
| Tier | Developer Profile |
|
|
| :--: | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| 1 | Developers in the early stages of their learning journey. Those who are typically focused on creating user-facing applications. |
|
|
| 2 | Developers at an intermediate stage of learning and experience. They are comfortable in UI/UX, using development tools, and building apps that use API services. |
|
|
| 3 | Developers who have all of the above, and are learning more advanced techniques like implementing backend applications and database services. |
|
