I'm having a bit of trouble building stuff to learn in my free time (undergrad w/ cancelled classes due to COVID-19). I find it very difficult to come up with an idea that I'm excited about enough to actually keep me motivated. And I would love to contribute to OSS but the codebases seem so dense and inaccessible, especially to a non-veteran.
Any advice?
- machiaweliczny 7y agoBuild me Reddit clone (if you do please make it scale to 100M users - that will keep you busy) or modify public source to be deployable with 1 click. EDIT: more ideas Try to build better Firebase. Try to build OS that's truly secure and convinient and hackable that allows me to write integration scipts based on app events and allows me to rewrite any app UI. Design App UI building toolkit that puts current solutions to shame. Build MMO game that will make Blizzard sad. Build simple and configurable personal assistant. Build relevant adds solution. Design better search engine than Google. Design publishing system that will get rid od ads and will allow to fairly compensate content creators and make it sustainable. Design simpler HTML, so anyone can write browser. Try to build/design language that is both expressive and minimal, with performance close to C or better, has great errors, no quirks and predictable memory use. Write it so it's easy for beginners to contribute ;p
