I would like to know what your hoppy coding project are. It doesn’t really have to serve a purpose, but what are you coding on in your free time that just is fun to you and you enjoy working on?
As a background: I am an experienced programmer and do earn my money with it. In my free time I always enjoyed trying out new stuff related to technology, learn new things and improve my skills by doing so. But lately I recognise that I just have no clue what I should do or what a fun toy project I could work on. I really have no ideas. My head just feels completely empty whenever I open my IDE.
So please, tell me what you are coding on for fun.

A short list:
The current one is a Linux system backup tool written in Python that I use for my systems.
Recently worked through Mozillas PWA materials to learn how to make Progessive Web Apps. I need decide on what to do with that next. This HTML, CSS, JavaScript, pretty much. Put up a Python web server for some of it.
I have a security system that is tied together via various Python services. I need to work on that more.
A few years ago I write a big Monte Carlo financial simulation for retirement planning including taxes. Again Python.
A while ago I wrote a bunch of test code too benchmark all of the ways to make Python fast. Also looked a C extension, parallel computing, vectorization, GPUs. Some results not that intuitive.
I have a ton more.
