About this post
I've seen a lot of people ask "What projects should I make next?". A lot of people are in need of inspiration and I want to help them to find it fast.
The most popular post on DEV of all time shows 8 frontend projects that someone can build. That shows how much people need inspiration on what to build.
I want you to share any ideas of great project that programmers should build. I want this post to be a reference to others out of inspiration where they can come back and just build the first project that comes to them.
If you have an idea (or some ideas) of a great project that a developer should make, post it in the comments and I will the project you suggested and your name in this post.
