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 -

  1. An API based image downloader
  2. 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
