I've been told that I have a solid foundation in programming, and now I just need to start building projects. However, I'm finding it tough to pick a specific project because nothing really grabs my interest. I'm considering a method where I choose a library or framework, dive into its documentation, and start experimenting with its features. The idea is that by playing around with the library, I might naturally come up with project ideas without forcing myself to choose one. I haven't tried this approach yet, especially since I'm unfamiliar with how to use documentation effectively. I'm curious if anyone thinks this method is practical and if it could actually lead to meaningful projects.

Do you really have no interests at all? It might help to look for something that excites you, even a little. But experimenting like this is definitely a good start!
It's totally valid to explore without a specific interest in mind! Just see what catches your eye as you dig into the documentation. Sometimes the best ideas come from experimentation.
That sounds like a fantastic way to handle it! Just tinkering with a library and setting small, achievable goals could lead to fun and rewarding projects. Just make sure you don’t get stuck just reading; try to build something tangible even if it’s small.
Working on a charity project or contributing to open source can be a great way to engage. It gives you a purpose and might guide your project direction while still allowing you to learn.
Have you had any experience with charity projects? Seems like a solid idea to me!
