Web developer here, give me a project idea. Especially looking for something I could put on my resume/public github.

Willing to do silly/stupid shit that won't go on my resume if it won't take too long.

Try making a 'website dictionary'. Basically listing multiple websites, what they do/are for, and a general review with a screenshot or two. Hell, maybe it'll help all the porn threads on here find the correct board for that shit.

Make a list aggregator. People make lists, and then you can group lists by attributes, and share your lists with social media. But don't call them lists, call them Grabz. Then put it all on a blockchain and hang yourself.

I was thinking of doing a twitter clone called Twit that limits every Twee to 4 words. Then since a picture is worth a thousand words, you'd be forced to crop every picture you upload to 4/1000 of its size, and shit like that. Any interest?

I was gonna limit posts to 4 characters but I feel like that'd get boring fast.

Bumping, please help me not waste this rare burst of motivation. Need a fap folder organizer that can be installed locally and supports encryption? Maybe a chrome extension to help you get quads on Sup Forums? Tell me what you need and I'll deliver~~~

>fap folder organizer

It's all in the branding... "Encrypted Personal Media Organizer - Keep Family Photos Safe"

I'd hire a fucker who made that.

Can you elaborate some more on how this would work? Only actual suggestion I've gotten and it seems like a decent idea except it seems like you're just talking about wikipedia.

This is a terrible idea. Why are you looking for random ideas? There is something in your life that an application would make easier. Figure that out and execute a solution to that problem. That's how this stuff works.

That said, make a Web application for recipes that doesn't suck 100% ass.

this. a recipe site without 2347293847923 adverts and clickbait shit would be 10/10

Been unemployed for 2 months now trying to think of something to make but I legitimately can't. I feel like I could solve some of my life's problems if I spent more time away from any computers. But still, I need money and this pays well so I need to do a demo project so I can get another job (ideally remote). Fucking hate being a wagie though.

You should make a To Do list using a modern javascript framework like React. Bonus points for making something that completely fails to run this time next week because all of the dependencies are completely broken and the API for half of the shit your using has changed. Extra credit for using libraries with stale, crusty, moldy documentation that hasn't been updated since 2015.

Think of it as a dictionary for websites. For example: if you wanted to figure out what kind of website Sup Forums was, you'd go to the 'Website Dictionary' and search for Sup Forums. The result would give a screenshot or 2 of the site itself, a description (I.e. Sup Forums is a shit hole of such and such), and a link to the homepage. You could even put a review or 'sites similar to Sup Forums' section.

Make tutorial videos for YouTube on how to use the technologies you're familiar with to build a website. Do something a little bit complicated, like an ecommerce website and you'll get views and hopefully ad revenue. Meanwhile you're creating a very visual resource for potential employers to evaluate your skills, and you're demonstrating your ability to lead and teach. It's a win all around.

make a porn website that takes pic you upload of people and matches them to a pornstar that looks the closest like them

... oh and everyone wants a link to your Github when you apply for a job, but nobody actually goes there and looks at it.

Thought about doing paid courses on Udemy. I worked as a TA for years so teaching this stuff comes pretty easily.

But there's already 100 billion "How to set up an ecommerce || business || single-page || * website using React and Redux" videos. Why the fuck would anyone want to see MY video?

I still feel like that's just wikipedia with reviews attached. Would also take a ton of time to either write all those website summaries myself, or to crowdsource them all. Don't see this working in a small amount of time unfortunately.

Those videos are mostly "install woocomerce on wordpress" or "here's my reddit clone in react".

Ben Awad builds a rather sloppy clone of Slack here using react, apollo, and some other neat tools. He deals with authentication, websockets, all sorts of real world issues that to-do list demos never touch. Going into depth like that is something very few people do, and a lot of developers starting out with something new need to see how to make something real with these fancy new kits.

It's been a while since I've applied for anything, I had no idea that they ask for your github. I don't use github, I manage my own repositories. Is github the new linkedin for programmers? Fuck this gay earth.

FTFY

I lost ;) That's so fucking true.

Make a site determining what the most attractive women look like.

Take those group pictures of naked women that are posted on /s/ with numbers on each girl. Below have a drag-and-drop of all the numbers, allowing the user to rank most attractive to least attractive.

Run them through a dozen photos then reveal the community's favorite and least favorite girls.

A+ idea.

I'm not even gonna argue about the wikipedia thing. Not worth an argument. But, this could make ALOT of money if you put time into it. If it gets big enough, companies would pay to have their websites promoted.

Seems like he goes into nice depth. I guess I could probably do something like this, but I run into the same question again: what kind of project should I make a video series of myself making?

Recipe site then. I've actually done a couple just to play with things, it's relatively simple but useful. My last idea was to make one that recipes could be exported into some kind of standarized JSON that can be used to hydrate some embeddable JS. So, something like BitchinRecipe.show('yoursite.com/sandwich/recipe.json?units=US') and it shows a recipe. It's probably been done, but it's a project you could certainly do.

Probably don't have enough domain knowledge for the recipe thing, I can literally make ramen noodles and peanut butter sandwiches because I'm a lazy, moderately depressed, unemployed software developer who never got taught how to cook.

You can lift a billion recipes from a billion sites. Make a tool to screenscrape the Food Network site.

I've been considering making something that randomly selects an item of porn and displays it but I don't have the knowledge just yet on how to do it easily

If you just wanna make it work with URLs or something then it's pretty easy. I can make you a mockup on jsfiddle if this thread stays alive long enough.
