App Ideas Collection - New!!
Motivation
This project was inspired by the need to provide developers, especially those who are new to the field, with a list of practical and achievable app ideas that they can work on to improve their coding skills and build their portfolio. The original repository that inspired this project (https://github.com/florinpop17/app-ideas) has over 60,000 stars on Github, but unfortunately, it has not been updated in a while and is no longer actively maintained.
Our goal is to keep this project alive and useful to developers around the world. By contributing to this project, you can help provide a valuable resource to the developer community and inspire the next generation of developers to build amazing projects. We welcome everyone to contribute their own app ideas, and we encourage everyone to share their completed projects so that others can learn from them.
Thank you for your support, and let's work together to make this project even more useful and inspiring to developers everywhere!
Description
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! 👍
These applications are:
- great for improving your coding skills 💪;
- great for experimenting with new technologies 🆕;
- 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 (these are optional and should be attempted only after you have completed the required user stories)
- All the resources and links to help you find what you need to complete the project
Here you can watch a video about this repository.
Projects
Projects are divided into three tiers based on the knowledge and experience required to complete them.
| Tier | Developer Profile |

| 1 | Developers in the early stages of their learning journey. Those who are typically focused on creating user-facing applications. |
| 2 | Developers at an intermediate stage of learning and experience. They are comfortable in UI/UX, using development tools, and building apps that use API services. |
| 3 | Developers who have all of the above, and are learning more advanced techniques like implementing backend applications and database services. |
