What are some fun projects I can use to teach myself Rust? (self.programming)

I’m currently going through the process of teaching myself Rust as a fun summer project, especially since it’s different enough from the Java/Spring stack I use at work regularly. What are some interesting projects I can work on in Rust to get some familiarity with how the language works, and get an idea of some of the libraries I can use with it?

For my own projects I’m trying to build things I actually want. Tools for myself. But now the hard part becomes identifying a tool you wish you had, and scoping it down enough so that it’s appropriately sized for a new language. Tricky to approach the task from two ends.

Yes! An example: I needed to start a journal to write my thoughts, therapist's orders. Also wanted to learn kivy and write a basic app for android. So I wrote a little journal app for myself to make me want to journal, and i learned the basics of kivy framework! Sorry its not a rust example
