I'm a first-year student diving into full stack development using the MERN stack. Recently, I created a CP platform dashboard and I'm eager to tackle more projects to further my learning. However, I'm struggling to come up with good project ideas. I've heard people say to find a problem in my life and solve it, but I'm drawing a blank. I'm open to exploring other technologies if it helps with the project since, for me, development is all about efficiency and providing a great user experience (within my capabilities).

If you're looking for project ideas just for learning, consider replicating apps or features that you enjoy using. It can be a great way to challenge yourself while learning about user experience and design.
1. Think about what excites you! There must be something cool out there that you’d love to create.
2. Align your project with a company you admire or are interested in working for. For instance, I built an app related to the optical lab software of a company I wanted to join. They loved it!
3. Another idea is to play around with AI; even free tools can spark a ton of project ideas for you.
Thanks a lot! I actually found valuable ideas by looking at some company applications and their features. I never thought of it that way!
