I wanted to pitch “implement stl” of a language of your choice, but since OP wants to add it to portfolio, I think contributing to open source is the best advice. If one-man backed app is not a breakthrough on the market, without proper pressure from business your yet-another-blog-clone of a current generation product would look most likely quite poor.

For sure - leverage the open-source community. I remember working on this utility, and a good way through I stumbled across a very similar one built by a company I had heard of, and I got a bit discouraged as it was much better. That being said, it's still good experience either way, but open-source has the added benefit of building teamworking skills.
