Networking project ideas
It might not be what you are looking for, but you could have a look and experiment with libp2p. Plenty of stuff to build with that.

Libp2p Peerstore Persistence
I am quite new to ipfs and peer to peer work. I am trying to build a simple app that leverages the P2P platform. I have an up and running nodejs libp2p node that can dial and connect with a second node on a separate test device. I am trying to save the second node to my primary node's peerstore. However I noticed that it is not persisted on restart. I followed the instructions here on configuring my node for peerstore persistence to the letter: https://github.com/libp2p/js-libp2p/blob/8e1fc78353cba194c86102dafcd68373b3f9a796/doc/CONFIGURATION.md#configuring-peerstore. However, when I set the secondary node again into my peerstore it still doesn't persist on restart. The setup above did create a mydb folder with log input however so it has definitely implemented a datastore. However I am not sure why my peerstore isn't saving to it.

Amino – The Public IPFS DHT Is Getting a Facelift
There are a few client options; the most widely used one (to my knowledge) is https://github.com/ipfs/kubo for CLI. There's also a desktop client that's pretty nice: https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/ipfs-desktop/

DockerHub replacement stratagy and options
To be honest, this project aside, it's pretty cool and not to bad to get started with. On desktop, I would recommend the aptly named ipfs-desktop if you just want to try it out and get a good glance at all of the features. On android the ipfs-lite app is pretty straight forward though nowhere near the view into features the desktop app provides.

Drop in Cloudflare Replacement
IPFS does serve traffic directly, and faster than through Cloudflare; if you run a local node. It accomplishes this by pre-caching content related to the content you access. So it is a bit network heavy. But I've been using it for about a year and the speed just can't be beat.
