Side Project Ideas?

A comparison site for hospital prices.

These have to legally be made available by each hospital for all services they provide (since January 1, 2019).

At the moment they're hard to find, often buried on the hospital's website and not easy comparable to other hospitals in the area.

A kayak-like site for health procedures would be very useful.

One simple way could be to pick up project based in a technology stack you know. I will follow up with an example, see this book [1], about good python projects.

What you can do is, read the description of each project and do it yourself. Don't look at the solution in the book, then when you are done, compare. If some project excites you further, you can probably extend it so if the book offers a CLI solution, may be write a GUI for it and so on.

The trick with side projects is to build momentum and I hope this technique could be helpful. Have fun doing your side project.

A FAAS (function as a service) provider, but with GPU support.

An app where employees can vote the options for menu in office Kitchen/Pantry. May be employees can vote weekly/monthly once.

How about a website or webapp? should only take spare time. If i were to do something, that qualifies

I had the same "problem" and created a static site generator [0] in both Python and Perl (as a learning exercise in the former case). I blog daily using this program [1].

FWIW; I am looking for beta testers ;-)

This is so broad. What are your interests? Easy enough to rattle some ideas with a bit of help.

What's your goal? Learn technology? project that may turn into a business? a game?
