Ask HN: Smaller(ish) Project Idea's

12 points| dscb | 12 years ago

What are some smaller project's that you could execute in a day to a week or so?

I'm think along the lines of setting up a personal email server, basic portfolio site, etc. Things that could broaden your knowledge of different services.

edit: Another example of what I was thinking about is setting up a basic dropbox clone for personal use running on your own server.

Do you know these useful MS Excel templates that you can find throughout the interwebs? Calculate the needs of a BBQ for X people; lifetime savings calculator; freelancer budget calculator, etc. (for some examples: http://www.spreadsheetzone.com/category.aspx?c=159)

Find one that is useful for you and transform it on a cloud-based software. A spreadsheet as a service, if you will.
