ideabook is a collection curated by Phodal Huang containing a large number of hands-on practice project ideas for full-stack/growth engineering engineers. Each project is described with background, a showcase or story of need, and step-by-step implementation suggestions: from building a GIS system with Django+Haystack, to an editing-publishing separated blogging system, to an Ionic/Electron hybrid application, to building a JavaScript slide framework. The aim is to give developers concrete, creative, and tricky exercise ideas rather than generic “todo app” templates, helping them build their portfolio, sharpen skills, and explore architectures. The repository emphasizes “growth engineering”, building systems, not just UI, that require thinking about data flows, tooling, deployment, and scaling. Because the list is diverse across stacks (frontend, backend, mobile, GIS, search engines), it encourages cross-pollination of skills rather than deeper specialization.

Features

  • Dozens of project ideas across full-stack, mobile, search, GIS, and more
  • For each idea: background, showcase, steps, and exercise suggestions
  • Encourages building portfolio-worthy systems rather than trivial apps
  • Diverse stack exposure (backend, frontend, hybrid mobile, electron, search)
  • Focus on growth engineering: tooling, architecture, deployment, scaling
  • Suitable for self-study, portfolio building, and skill expansion
