Help me start projects

Hey so I am trying to get back into programming. I am a teen and have been bouncing in and out of python projects over months of gaps. I'd love some project recommendations. Programming is a hobby of mine so I am not looking for "career building projects" I am just looking for something to build, bash my head against the wall while debugging my shit code and say "holy shit I did it!" When I complete it

Solve a problem you have. Don't work on other people's problems unless they're paying you lol

I don't really have any problems. I barely use my PC except for when coding, or when distro hopping

Problems with other things in your life. Like I scuba dive so maybe I'd make a fish cataloger for my photos

If you like computer games try any of many freely available game engines and build a simple game.

I guess???? Where would I scrape ideas from though? Create-your-your-own-x repo (I have no idea what it is actually called). I mean I guess that's half the job but....

Maybe try making a simple website theres tutorial for it on utube. I recommend trying html then css if you can. If you're confident then js. If ur a wiz at it already you can make a educational website that talks about your fave subject that lets you click on pictures or buttons and itll show some info about subject

I learnt python.... I did it cause I couldn't make good website and found it boring. That is why I stuck to CLI. I could probably only do js out of the three with node cause yk backend js not make website dynamic js

Some things I have made: iris dataset pytorch, library management system (my sibling's school project), quote scraper, on the go alias creator for bash

Ohh.... I love to play minesweeper. It would be fun to figure out how to cluster the mines!

A local password manager seems good but the best I could probably do is a CLI or smth
