Ask HN: Idea for web app which I could deliver for free as tech skills showcase
Hello HN community,
I'd like to develop a web app in my free time so I could showcase my technical skills. The idea is to deliver it for free, backed by donations (to cover infrastructure costs).
I thought it would be nice if it is something of a value, i.e. something, that people already have to pay for.
Please provide your ideas, backed by personal experience/observations + URL to the app :)
There are not many limitations when it goes to technology: I'd like it to be modular monolith written in Java+Spring, backed by AWS, frontend written in React and possibly mobile app in React Native.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Przemek, Poland

- justaguyhere 7y agoFew years ago, I made a simple web app using a non-profit's API (I was bored) with no expectations. I haven't touched it in like 3 years, I still have at least a few dozen people using it daily and once in a while, I get a nice thank you message. If you hang out in forums frequented by enthusiastic supporters of non profits, you can find tons of ideas.
