Hey everyone! I've been learning Python and have a grasp on basic data structures and object-oriented programming. Now, I need to build some projects, but I'm feeling completely lost. I want to create something decent enough to showcase on my GitHub, but there's just so much information out there that it feels overwhelming. Any suggestions on where to start?

How about cloning something? If you're interested in API development, you could tackle a Facebook or Instagram clone. It could be a solid way to learn. If that’s too big, maybe start with smaller projects like a random number generator or even a simple game!
One cool idea is to use a public API! You can find a free API online, gather data from it, and store that data in a MySQL database. It’s pretty straightforward for beginners. Once you have the data, try displaying it in a DataFrame and maybe exporting it to Excel. If you're up for it, you could even automate converting Excel files to CSV. Sounds like a fun challenge!
Sounds scary but hella fun. IM ON IT TY!
But I can't just make a YouTube clone with Python; I’ll need a backend like Flask and learn HTML and CSS too. I like the idea of integrating APIs, but I'm not super keen on the typical weather app suggestions. A small game could be a fun project to try.
