One of the best ways to keep learning after mastering the basics is to actually start building small apps that get progressively more complex and larger as your skills grow. Wouldn’t it be great if we could create that list? Let us do just that here! Just post a short blurb for an app someone should build.
I will figure out a way to categorize them as topics roll in - probably as easy/medium/hard. Not sure yet haha.
Stopwatch with support for lapping as a P2
Real-time chat box using Firebase

Color analyzer that takes a bitmap as an argument and returns the top 10 most dominant colors
An app that register your mood connected to the weather api.
Enter address/zip code, get weather!
App that lets you import picture and it will call Watson API to describe what it is looking at.

Nice one Kirupa. Building while learning sounds nice. My fear has always been that I am not adequate enough.
I want to ask after HTML, CSS and Javascript. I’m confused about which program to learn. I really need to upgrade my skill. I don’t want to spread myself too thin by jumping from one language to the other.
If you don’t have a pressing need to learn something new, just go deeper in HTML, CSS, and JS.
Lightweight social sharer (twitter and facebook only)
Random word generator

Visual Timesheets. Probably the most tedious aspect of corporate life for millions of unfortunate humans, can we make this simple task easier, more intuitive, and less soul crushing!? I’m thinking a calendar that you click drag and… done. Quick, and easy but captures really important labor data for the employer. Quickbooks, freshbooks, TSheets, etc all have options that are more form tab-tab-tabbing that is just no longer acceptable in the modern world!
Countdown timer with a progress bar (bonus points for it being circular)
Random emoji picker
