As developers, we are often confused about which type of projects we should build for our portfolios.
That is why Iām covering 17 iconic projects ...

These aren't project ideas, these are tool recommendations.
I know a lot of people including developers think that tools are not side projects.
But they are actually projects like resume builder, SQL translator, Instrukt, CodeSnap, DevHub and 10,000+ themes... (from this list). Technically, they don't have a very large codebase and even SAAS are project ideas yk.
Are you suggesting we use these tools or we build clones of these tools?
Clones are fine, but you can build something similar and take it further. For example, you can use random color generation to change themes from 10k+ themes. Each one is unique from Matcha.css to Documenso.
Use it as inspiration and build something unique because there are already too many clones of popular projects which doesn't make a strong impression.
Awesome article! We'd love to be on your radar for future lists, we've created a platform that lets developers create a portfolio very easily. Would love to hear your thoughts, or even better, get featured! (technica.dev/)
It's a great tool, but I would recommend adding a landing page to build credibility. I'm aware there is a sample but a few sections explaining what's under the hood would be helpful.
By the way, I focus only on covering open source projects :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback Anmol! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the article - lots of great tools! I tried the Copilot Kit but was unable to connect to the copilotkit.ai cloud. I get a 500 error connecting to https://cloud.copilotkit.ai/?ref=docs&session_id=01912fda-4c48-7f2d-acab-198039a62518. (clicking on the blue button). I love to see this working.
You can join the Discord server where the team will handle all the problems you face. The cloud version needs access as far as I remember so just join the server.
Aha! The list I need! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Dumebi š
People are often confused about unique projects so I thought covering some unique ones might help :)
Suuuuuch gems here!
I think goleko would be great to manage these projects :)
Thanks for sharing Martin.
Do you have any plans to go open source?
It would accelerate your development cycle if you can manage to get contributors.
Currently, it's in the works. Thanks for the tip man :)
Thanks for sharing this list, ot was really insightful, especially about OpenAlternative, there are so many tools in the software development eco system someone can use and experiment with to build projects, it's astounding!
Yes, it's a great way to find open source alternatives to software. That's where I found Documenso and used it for a couple of projects. We cannot imagine the world without open source. :)
Such a nice collection here. Thank you!! š
Interesting article.
This is amazing value added like always anmol. Thanks for your work!

This is a great list!
Amazing Anmol!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for reading Kiran š
These are great tools, Anmol! š„
Thanks David š
There is nothing more exciting than coding something useful and showing it to the world :)
This is absolute GOLD. Thank a milly
Cool projects
Thanks James š
Very frontend heavy list
I'm more focused on frontend, so I must have included projects based on intuition.
I'm sure you will find projects on all tech stacks :)
Hey, we are building opensource project management in typescript github.com/tegonhq/tegon. You can check it here
