📒 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 💪;
• great to experiment with new technologies 🆕;
• great to be added in your portfolio to impress your next employer/client 📁;
• great to be used as examples in tutorials (articles or videos) 📃;
• easy to complete and also easily extendable with new features 👌;

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;
