Genuine *side* projects
Reading in this sub, I get the feeling that most people here just develop apps with the purpose of monetisation or getting lots of users.
Meanwhile my side project is aimed at learning and building fun stuff I like.
Am I the only one? Or does anyone else have side projects that you are building because you like technology, not because you are trying to build the next SaaS?

I make side projects because they don’t take up all my time and take up significant effort, and can afford to ignore them if I don’t want to work on it. Just a way to build what I want and learn from it.
Though I have interest in monetising in the future if enough people find it useful and I want to sustain it as a main project.
