ASK IH: What to build?
Hi everyone!
I want to build a side project which will be API based. After much thinking I narrowed down to 2 ideas -
- An API based image downloader
- An API based file uploader
What should I build out of the two mentioned ideas....or should I build something else?
Thanks!

Hello Akshay ,
I always like to create something one one has ever seen before..but i am a newbie coder
so I like to use open source stuff to help me learn & have a cornerstone to build on .
You can find some API's here
https://www.programmableweb.com/category/all/apis?keyword=images
and some interesting opensource user interfaces here
https://codepen.io/pens/picks/
https://github.com/d3/d3/wiki/Gallery
https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_animation_cloth
Look around..make something that you can dazzle 1st time users or your product
and build a unique business around .
Build both. Post the results of your work in 3 months time. But update us on your progress every 2 weeks.
Cheers.

I would day #1 can be easily achieved by using a basic http GET request.
#2 is a POST but the relevant par here is where to put it, quotas, spam etc etc
