I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?

As a background: I am an experienced programmer and do earn my money with it. In my free time I always enjoyed trying out new stuff related to technology, learn new things and improve my skills by doing so. But lately I recognise that I just have no clue what I should do or what a fun toy project I could work on. I really have no ideas. My head just feels completely empty whenever I open my IDE.

So please, tell me what you are coding on for fun.

make a boilerplate/starter project for something. For instance a java project that has a api so implement Swagger, json, some example endpoints, etc. That way, if I start a new project I don't have to first configure it all and think about what dependencies I need to implement.

Or one for css or Angular. Just implement the basic style for buttons, text, menu's etc and adjust where needed. A bit like Bootstrap but then more basic

make a private website where combine all your (future) tools/projects. Like some calculate (km to miles, whatever), some links to other projects, a page to your servers/services (kodi, plex, sabnzbd, etc)
