  • I recommend creating a web app as your first project. Web apps are a great choice because you can solve interesting problems by creating a web server and the skills you learn creating a web app translate into many other domains. I highly recommend looking at https://github.com/launchbadge/realworld-axum-sqlx. This is an awesome example of a web app with everything you would need to solve most issues. As for what kind of project, I can't tell you. Find something that interests you. For example, https://github.com/JosephBGerber/searchbuddy, this is a project I've been working on. It's a browser extension that lets you me other people that are searching for what you're searching for. I thought this was interesting and that motivated me to complete the project.

  • searchbuddy

    Make friends while searching.
