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. ---

Nice one Kirupa. Building while learning sounds nice. My fear has always been that I am not adequate enough. ---

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! ---
