Side projects are a great way to improve Next.js skills without quitting your day job.
Here are ten side project ideas for Next.js: blog engine with markdown support and tagging, portfolio site with dynamic routing and animations, MVP for a small idea using FastStartup framework, weather app with API integration and dynamic display, gamified to-do app with third-party API integration, e-commerce storefront with payment integration and dynamic rendering, recipe app with real-time API query, chat app with WebSocket and real-time messaging, expense tracking app with forms and data visualization, and a forum with authentication and server-side rendering.
FastStartup framework can speed up SaaS development with pre-built components and authentication.
Side projects help self-taught developers learn by doing and FastStartup can accelerate the process.
