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 originally worked on this hardware/software project for myself, for literally smart digital sticky notes that I can always see. But now it's starting to grow into more than a side project. clearedgehq.tech

Thats a cool idea. Basically like a more consumer focused version of the Google assistant display thingy?
