Ask HN: Side Project Ideas that I can easily build using Python

Maybe start by looking at a small problem/time sink you're currently facing and build something around that? For example, I wrote a small script in Python to automatically scrape jobs in the past 24 hours when I was applying for a new role (It return the Company, Job Name, and Job Link).

A web scraper! Wrap your scrape results with an API and boom you'll have cash flow.

* Trello clone * personal pastebin * url shortener * small file storage where you can upload documents and then share url * HackerNews clone * Reddit r&#x2F;place clone<p>etc. There are tons of them

Fun idea.. take an instagram public profile and classify all the photos for someone using an image classifier.

I say start with a flask app. Then build whatever you think the web is missing.

Start with hello world, then maybe make a website of some kind.

Make an asciidoc lexer for Pygments.
