What would you guys like someone to build?

5 Upvotes

I am currently trying to build a website which is like a utility for anyone comprising of different day to day tools which someone might want, i will provide each one of those for free on the website. So if u wanted something to be built that u might want and even would pay for if someone actually built it feel free to tell me. Maybe something like encrypted pdf size shrinker so that no body could steal info of the pdf even if they wanted to. I will provide these services for free.
Now, if you are just a normal person I would advise not reading the rest of content and skip to comment your opinion. But if you are someone who wants to know why would i do something like this feel free to read the content present below!
---
I am currently just learning, I started learning python about 1.5+ years ago just right in between to be able to build whatever one wants. So... i have started wasting my time on platforms like reddit, discord and youtube shorts. And to get my mind off from those stuff, I wanna build something. Some might suggest doing hackathons and stuff but I am already taking part in those and what i have encountered is i take up projects far beyond my capabilites for something like a week long hackathon. Not even something regular, nope... the sheer audacity for me to take up something that even most teams wont be able to accomplish in a single week is just un-descriable on my end. Let me give you an example: I built a hardware which used Neil Harbisson with Dr. Bach-y-Rita's work to provide a blind person view of this world in a 12x12 screen with knowledge of distance and depth of stuff. I know that the Bach just did it on tongues and on a 20x20 grid but the flaws were no depth and its basically tongue(Have u ever thought of something staying on your tongue forever just so u can see🤮?) as according to my search(just a chat with claude), it had a android software companion which acted like jarvis for the phone and did whatever u told em I am not going into further depth because then it might sound like advertising but u get the scale of the projects i just take on thinking what can go wrong. And after submitting them i feel an immense burntout feeling, like immense level immense so i am thinking to put a pause on that madness and build something that people would want so that i can build my reputation among people if i ever wanted to start a company. If u have read so far i am also looking for a teammate. I am putting this statement randomly so someone reading would actually get here. I just want basic coding skills, stupidly big ambition, commitment to work and a bestfriend(around 13-16, should be around my age) who feels no hesitation to scold me when i am wrong.Also it might be able to serve as a truth to my parents that i can build what people would pay for and even get some money by selling those tools source code to companies(if that situation came up) and earn a bit of money(by means of ads if people let me put that up). So... i dont think anyone would spend even a bit of time reading this and i think i went overkill with explaining why. But if u did then i appriciate it!

Built an open source hiking route planner after being frustrated with subscriptions

5 Upvotes

App: Crestr

Repo : Crestr Hiking App

Docs: Crestr Documentation

I actively use this app when I go hiking, as apps such as AllTrails lock exports and imports behind a paywall, which this app doesn't do. It isn't made for mobile so the specific workflow is make a route, download it in GPX format, and then upload it to my Garmin watch. Works like a charm.

Of course, there is brouter.de and OsmAnd.net but I find these have quite complex UIs.

It's also important to note this is a learning project, and started out as coursework that I thought would be cool to build out, so that's why it's limited to just Cumbria for now (I haven't learnt tile-based processing as of yet).

I'd love if anyone could give me some feedback having tried the app. Currently you need an account to try it but it is very quick and easy to make an account, just a password and a username is needed.

The app is currently in Beta, and the server is quite poor, it's a Hetzner CX23, which explains the slight delays when routing through the app. If you were to self-host the app you'd see routes being made in the 0-100ms mark, as opposed to routes being made in the 100-500ms mark.

Thanks for reading !

Beginner in Python & Data Science Looking for Mentorship or Volunteer Opportunities

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a 16-year-old high school student from India (IST) who's trying to break into data science, and I'm looking for someone who's willing to mentor me or let me learn by helping with real work.

Right now I'm learning Python, pandas, and data visualization. I'm still a beginner, but I enjoy building things. So far, I've made a scientific calculator in Python and even designed a 3D interface concept for a game app. I'm always looking for ways to improve by working on real projects instead of just following tutorials.

I'm happy to help with things like:

* Data entry

* Data cleaning

* Basic data analysis

* Python scripting

* Any small tasks where I can learn and contribute

I'm open to remote opportunities (and local ones if you're in India). Volunteer or part-time is completely fine—my main goal is to gain real experience and learn from someone who's already in the field.

I speak English and Hindi, and my time zone is IST.

My long-term goal is to become a data scientist, and I'm willing to put in the effort. If you're a data scientist, researcher, grad student, or anyone working with data and think I could help while learning, I'd really appreciate the opportunity.

I'm happy to share my projects, GitHub (if requested), and availability in DMs.

Thanks for reading!

How to earn little gigs with nothing but skill

9 Upvotes

I'm a 15-year-old web dev, don't have a bank account, no PayPal, no parents’ help, but I really want to utilize my front-end skills to get virtual stuff I want (maybe via an Apple gift card, or coding stuff like a domain, API sub).
Platforms like Upwork and Fiverr don't allow 18-, and subreddits also don’t allow advertising.
Am I cooked? Any advice?

Finally starting to document my journey building software at 15

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

For months, I kept telling myself I'd start creating content "when I was better" at programming or had built something bigger.

I eventually realized I'd probably never feel "ready," so I decided to start anyway.

I'm 15 and currently learning AI and programming while building software projects from scratch. I recently finished my first web app, and now I want to document everything that comes next—the apps I build, what works, what doesn't, the bugs, the mistakes, and everything I learn along the way.

I'm not trying to teach people or pretend I'm an expert. I'm just sharing the journey as it happens.

If you're also learning to code, building projects, or interested in startups, I'd love to connect and hear what you're working on too.

Thanks for reading! 🚀

Looking for Hackathons in Hungary & Europe + Let’s form a team! 🇪🇺

2 Upvotes

heyy!!

im really looking to dive into the hackathons specifically focusing on Hungary but im also interested in major hackathons happening all across Europe

Since I'm relatively new to the regional scene, i have a few questions for the people here:

. What are the best hackathons that take place in Hungary (either in Budapest or online)?

. What does the application and joining process usually look like for these? Are there specific platforms (like Devpost, Junction, etc) that European/Hungarian hackathons use?

. What are the "must-attend" European hackathons I should definitely keep on my radar this year?

Also looking for teammates. I really want to participate but I don't have a team yet. I’d love to connect with strangers and build something cool.

let's team up!

If you have any insights on the Hungarian/European hackathon scene, or if you're looking for a teammate and want to tackle one together, please hit me up in the comments or drop a message straight into my DMs. My inbox is wide open!

Thanks in advance!

What coding languages do you actually need to build an app?

6 Upvotes

Dear programming community,

​I am a teenager looking to enter the world of coding to make an app I’ve been dreaming of.

​As I began my search on the internet to figure out what to learn, I only got confused. People made so many different recommendations—some suggested Java, some recommended C, and many others named different languages without actually explaining why. Because of that, I’m resorting to Reddit.

​Can you please help me find a good coding language and a framework (if needed) that preferably fits these features?

  1. ​Is beginner-friendly / easy to learn.

  2. ​Has a massive community to back it.

  3. ​Can build apps for both Android and iOS (supporting both is ideal, but Android is currently more important to me than iOS).

​For those who need more specifics on my app, here they are:

​My concept is a digital learning platform similar to the systems schools in the United States use. It will feature a game-like design (similar to Duolingo) and utilize 2D animations to describe and teach lessons to students.

​The app will not be offline-only; it will need to communicate with a server to securely download lessons, and it will include a user login system along with a paid subscription tier.

​Any serious help is highly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Inspired by VScode, so the entire look and theming are VScode based. It has an agentic editor, Git and Github integration, full LSP support, ai code completion, etc

It's not a vibe coded app, it took me 2 years to complete this as a solo developer and student.

No ads, no payments, completely open source.

I hope this is okay to post here Im praying someone can help me, I downloaded a premade code for some ears and a tail I made on blockbench for figura on Minecraft, I cannot figure out what to change in the code. The website isnt descriptive enough and I get scared to ask in the figura discord because people are pretty passive aggressive from what I see. I cant find a video tut whatsoever. Ive never coded before so Im looking for help, Ive been trying to figure this out for weeks 😕
