I don't have any ideas and anything I see when I search for ideas just seems silly.

- invertedlambda 15y agoBuild a blog. Keep it simple: Have a homepage with 10 most recent posts - Post can have many comments - Only users can comment - Users must be logged in to comment - Only you (an admin) can log in and make posts. Or anyone else with credential. - Use SSL to encrypt your login. Extra credit: - Posts can have tags. Harder than you think. - Comments can have comments. This is harder than you think. Extra extra credit: - Implement it once using an SQL database. SQLite/MySQL/Postgres will be fine. - Implement it using a NoSQL database. MongoDB will probably be the simplest.
- glassx 15y agoIf you just want to practice programming, a Blog is a great idea, as invertedlambda suggested! You can also try cloning sites you like, such as Twitter, Facebook, Hacker News. Or maybe a text-mode game. Anything that you might think is cool. Or a tool for reading from some API you like. What about a command-line tool for getting the weather report based on your IP?
- Brewer 15y agoThe site cloning idea sounds pretty neat. Maybe I will try to clone HN.
