1) Graduate (about to start my final semester)
2) Get a MVP version of my cooking helper app on at least 3 friends phones. V1 is for Android, and the server is written in Scala, both new for me. I recently got a copy of The Lean Startup, and hope to apply some of those ideas to the first release.
I'm intending to build a native app. Hoping to keep it simple, and make calls to a Scala API. I'm also hoping to make it so both the app & a web interface can use the same endpoints. I also don't have any experience, so this project is certainly experiment-oriented rather than launch.
I'm interested in learning some functional programming, and felt this was a better option for a microservice than haskell. That's also on my to-learn list.

Is it a native app or u use some Scala framework?
I do not have any experience with apps, I would like to know more :)

ok, good luck with that! The common REST/graphql API endpoint is a good idea.
Lean Startup is definitely critical reading for this kind of thing. Good luck with the launch. What made you choose Scala for the server?

Clojure is an interesting and productive lisp. You might find the principles there intriguing as well.
Aah, that's great to know! I'll look into that some more - I've had coworkers apply some Clojure styles & ideas to our codebase with great results.
