What are some interesting projects for beginner coders?

Question

Currently learning Python (very, very novice). A frequent answer to the above question is to automate something. But what if you do not have anything that needs automating? Another reply is to solve a problem that you need solving, but what if there are no problems that you are aware of?ProjectEuler problems are fun, but they only go so far. I would like to think about more practical projects for the future.I guess this question also addresses a deeper question of why learn programming? I have always admired the ability of programmers to create side projects that may one day become a sustainable business in the future.

use code snippets and templates to copy pasta code together into a flowchart to create a proof of concept.
start with hello world or fizzbuzz to get the code working, then build the snippet library.
in short a macro like coding environment to reduce typing, and produce somthing quickly to kick around with other programmers until its at least beta stage.
