It's really difficult to make project suggestions without knowing the person pretty well - we have no idea of your skill level or interests (and a lack of interest in the product makes the project go slowly!). But ... have you tried here: 40 Side Project Ideas for Software Engineers[^] or here: Awesome Project Ideas for Software and Web Developers | Resume[^] If nothing else, they may give you ideas for a project you might want to use!

Something along those lines would be a box cutter program. When I go to ship something, a lot of the time I can't find a box that fits I end of creating one. It would be nice to be able to enter dimensions, type, size, etc. of the box required and it spit out the cut pattern.

There are many CP articles / projects that can be used as template for an improved / extended version.

The Simple Shelf Designer I want to utilize about ninety cubic feet of space in my living area. My dream: EL-Junk-O pile of cardboard boxes all gone; contents moved onto the neatly organized shelves. Magic word: Simple. Everything I've seen so far would present me with an eighteen month learning curve.

Whatever it is you decide to do, you'll have a lot more fun coding it in C# than VB. Just my $0.02

if like numbers, and if not morbid, maybe something that tells you how many seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, based on date input. additional when some milestone numbers coming up. and can input all dates of new/old body parts, so can be like celebrating 1 million seconds of getting new knee, and 32bit milestone (2.1 or 4.2 billion something) when X event happened.

Hmm. I wrote an app for myself that does this (and more), and even wrote a two part CP article, but never finished the article.

Interesting question... Myself, I'd probably go with a better calendar app. It has challenging parts and something that could be expanded beyond the initial basic cast. So many of the apps in this group just fall short of being complete in my book. I just haven't had the play time to work on it. VS has a decent amount of desktop tools to create the parts and pieces; it wouldn't be my first choice for web-based but I haven't played with ASP in a hundred years, which may be fun too. I use VS for desktop (C# or VB) and PHP for web. Maybe that brings up another idea, too. It might be a good time to give C# a shot as a project. It's not as much of a leap today as it was before current VB. I'm pretty meh on SQLite, but that's more because I'm not accessing local data at all. The key is to find something you're interested in and have a go at it. Good luck!

If you want a challenging, but doable, project that would be wildly popular in the Visual Studio (not Code) community, create a VS extension for a WYSIWYG UI designer that works for MAUI and HTML for Blazor. MS has lost the concept and value of rapid application design (RAD) as the ones who did that well since the 90s have retired or moved on. This project would be a huge shot in the arm for developers who want to significantly increase productivity, quality, and decrease time to market.
