A side project definitely does not have to be a website. It can be anything! You could make a mobile app, a command line tool, or even a new operating system.

It doesn't even have to be purely software. You could use Raspberry Pi to do a hardware project, for example. Check out these projects: https://www.hackster.io/raspberry-pi/projects https://www.hackster.io/raspberry-pi/projects
- bhnmmhmd 9y agoThanks! I guess even if it's not a website, eventually it needs one for introducing the project.
- dguo 9y agoA landing page can be helpful, but just having a good README can take you pretty far. If you do get to the point of wanting to make a website, I recommend learning HTML, CSS, and JS. There are plenty of styling frameworks like Bootstrap[1] and Semantic UI[2] that would let you create a decent looking website without in-depth CSS knowledge. If you just need a simple landing page, some HTML plus a styling framework can do the job nicely. If your project is a website itself, learning a front end framework might be the way to go, depending on what the website entails. Some of the more popular ones nowadays are Angular[3], React[4], and Vue[5].
