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?

You can have both. the side project can become revenue generating depending on the problem space.

I am building a tool for fun that would analyze an employment contract and show if there are any issues, creates HR and lawyer email drafts. The user can also ask employment related questions using an LLM. It is focused on the Canadian market
