Django Projects - 99 ideas for beginners

Learning Django, I found it really helpful to go through some beginner tutorials.

But eventually, you have to fly on your own. You have to learn how to plan out a project and how to research what you don’t know.

We believe in learn by doing. And that there’s no better time to start than now.

It doesn’t matter if it already exists. Your not building software to change the world, you’re building software to learn web development.

Here are some ideas to get you started.
