Ask HN: Programming Project Ideas?

7 pointsby ciniglioover 12 years ago
Do you have any project ideas for medium (say a few kloc) programs that would be good for learning? I want to work on something for a few weeks to just focus on programming (i.e. not trying to build a product). Examples I've heard previously are a BitTorrent client or IRC client, but something not networking focused would be cool too. I'm especially looking to work on something where I can learn a lot from the design (code, not UI) phase. Thanks!

"Data hosting/sharing service" or "Data Marketplace(buy/sell data)". Allow users to upload data on your website and make it available to others for use in various formats such as csv,xls,xml,sql,json or expose data to be used through REST API.<p>You can later extend it by allowing users to share js/php/etc code snippets that does some operation on data or that handles presentation of data. Widgetize it so that it can be embedded on web pages.

<i>Better than JSON</i><p>Design your own general purpose textual data format and write an encoder and/or decoder for it.
