I got no projects on it, but used to find some while freelancing so maybe thats where you need to point .

You can do something like this as your own project:
Make a twitter bot of your own that has searches by hashtags user searches auto liking log in keyword by user commenting etc. Schedule jobs for every 8 hours for liking or something and then save liked posts or whatever you collect into a databse of your choice. I started of with postgres and then moved to mongodb as it had a more pleasent interface for Python

Try collecting some github stuff, or you can choose any website of your choice and just collect the data if it looks interesting to you :))

You will run into selenium often
Always look for ways arround selenium because its much faster by using requests woth lxml or BeautifulSoup. Allthough obviously for a twittet bot you will end up needing need it 😄

And have in mind not all sites allow this so choose carefully else you will run into captchas often 😂

selenium sounds like something out of Harry Potter...LOL

I will add all these to my Python to do, thanks once again!
