Frontend Projects, 2025
Hi there!
I have been learning React for around 2-4 months now and (through courses, articles, etc) and now want to use what I have learned by doing projects. What kind of fun and intressesting projects can I do?
Its need to be frontend, and I dont want to do boring stuff like weather app, todo app or something like that! I want to have something to "show" recruiters, something unique..

What kinds of apps would you like to have/use? Make those! The best apps are the ones you use.
Do you like FaceTime? Make a P2P video chat app. Do you like to draw? Make a simple drawing app using the
canvas API. Enjoy sharing code snippets? Make a snippet sharing platform!Honestly I don’t know, anything that helps me finding a project to do
Well, what kind of things do you like? What are your other hobbies?
I could give you half a dozen ideas, but they would be things that I enjoy or would use, however, so won’t be of much interest to you.
I have no hobbies, what I do throughout the day is waking up, work (non-coding job) come home, eat, learn coding through tutorials (if there is time to learn) sleeping => next day repeat 🔂
You can give me some ideas maybe something that helps me? Needs to be frontend btw
Try to do freelancing
Most of my projects are full-stack, so I don’t one how useful they’ll be to you. Bit I guess you could hard-code some JSON and use that for the “database” to display.
* Recipe site without a bunch of ads and life-story
* Code snippet sharing
* Meme generator
Those should be able to show off different skills
I've been in your shoes! to @13eck 's suggestions I'd add - some nice touches to a recipe site could be:
- Allow the user to set their preference for viewing recipes (ingredients first and instructions later, or mix the ingredients and instructions)
- Have some subtle changes to the UI depending on what recipes people are viewing. For instance, if they're looking at vegetarian recipes you could change the middle stripe of the "hamburger" menu to green, indicating it's a veggie burger
- Allow them to add ingredients to a shopping list
My first "side project" was an HTML signature generator. They have these online, so I wasn't under any illusion I was creating something original. I used AI to write the code (this was before I started on my current learning path where I'm actually trying to learn web dev myself). The cool thing was I was able to deploy it at work, saving me trouble every time someone asks me for help creating a new Outlook signature!
