I've been struggling with this problem for a while now. I'm curious, I like to experiment new things, be it languages or frameworks, but for that it is important to have some idea to code with. Just do the tutorials is not enough for me, it is generally too easy, so I need something more real to practice. However, I don't have much creativity to projects. I try to think about some problem that I may have and would like to automate or something linked with my hobbies that would be nice to create. I do have some projects slowly evolving, but since they are a little more complex, I tend to use things I'm already fairly familiar with, so it doesn't count. I also try to find open source projects on GitHub that I could contribute, but the well kept ones are generally too hard for someone who wants to practice the basics, it is intimidating.

So, the question is, what to do when you want to practice something, but doesn't have an idea of project to try it on? There are sites that can help with that? Front-end, back-end or both. What do you do when you are in this kind of situation?
