I think the best one on this list is probably a zoom clone or a video chatting app, if you have the time of course. You learn a lot trying to make it better. It includes text chat too.

And suggestion would be to not worrying too much about the how the UI looks but focus on the functionalities and making the navigations smoother and more interactive.

I totally agree with you! Creating an app which allows users to interact with each other via their webcam is no easy feat. This project focuses on the backend as much as the frontend and UI which makes it a true fullstack project. Thanks for reading.

NVidia Jetson Nano has a optimized version of WebRTC and supports AI if you want to go a step further. It also makes a great security camera system.

Great list 😄. I think the best projects to learn new things with are building clones of existing products and figuring out how you would make it better. What kind of features do you think it's lacking or should be done in a different way.

I particularly like the workout tracker because I think it's fitting for the current times where gyms tend to be closed. How would we actively track and motivate home workouts, that kind of stuff.

Thanks for reading! I definitely think that building clones of an existing project are a great way to get better too (especially on your CSS skills).

Very nice list of projects. Just complementary content. I created a post here in dev.to about how to choose the right backend framework. This can help out if someone wonders what kind of framework should use based on the domain problem.

WebRTC and socket.io is definitely a great tech stack choice! They are great for other use cases as well, for instance socket.io can also be used for an auto match making video game: codecustard.io/portfolio/toonkins-...

Yes, socket.io can be used for many things! I love socket.io because of that!

I’ll try out the zoom clone and social media app. I’ve done an e-commerce with MEVN stack (Mongo, ExpressJS, Vue, NodeJS) and I’m currently reproducing it with MENN stack (Mongo, ExpressJS, NodeJS, NuxtJs).

I'm making a React web app with React, Nodejs + Express, Mysql do you think that's a good stack? like should I use another database or MySQL is fine?

Regarding MySQL, if you are good at MySQL then it's fine for you to use it. If you have the time to learn PostgreSQL I would highly recommend using it over MySQL because PostgreSQL has better concurrency, more features, and is closer to and adheres to the SQL standards better. This is a great tutorial for getting started with PostgreSQL: youtu.be/tp_5c6jaNQE.

For the video chatting app/Zoom clone I think is worth mentioning to try an implementation with Jitsi Web API. Working with an external product have value too.

Why no IoT projects? Hassio + node-red would make a great javascript-based IoT tutorial.

That workout tracker is definitely in my "things to build list" although I would use Next.js for it.
Other than that, great article! nice ideas and tech suggestions.
