(Almost) Everything you need in such a place!

Ahoy matey! During my sailing in the GitHub sea, I found some amazing lands to dock on. The extra one is mine. And I’d like to invite you to embark on my project.

App Ideas

Have you ever wanted to build something, but you had no idea what to do? Just as authors sometimes have “writers block” it’s also true for developers. This list is intended to solve this issue once and for all! Go➡

These applications are:

great for improving your coding skills muscle;
great for experimenting with new technologies new;
great for adding to your portfolio to impress your next employer/client;
great for using as examples in tutorials (articles or videos);
easy to complete and also easily extendable with new features;
This is not just a simple list of projects, but a collection that describes each project in enough detail so that you can develop it from the ground up!

Each project has the following features:

A clear and descriptive objective;
A list of User Stories which should be implemented (these stories act more as a guideline than a forced list of To-Do’s. Feel free to add your own stories if you want);
A list of bonus features that not only improve the base project, but also your skills at the same time.

All the resources and links to help you find what you need to complete the project

Who is this for?

Anybody who wants to land a job at a tech company but is new to technical interviews, seasoned engineers who have not been on the other side of the interviewing table in a while and want to get back into the game, or anyone who wants to be better at technical interviewing.
