What to Build
Project ideas for IT folks who want to build in public. From automation scripts to useful tools, we’ll help you figure out what to create. You don’t need to build the next big app to have something worth sharing.

How to build and share projects that show what you can do. You don’t need to be a software developer to create useful tools and scripts. We’ll show you what to build and how to share it publicly.

Do you know what your problem is? You (I assume) don’t have any public projects! If you’ve been toiling away at work during the day (where you can’t show your work-product) and then nights and weekends, if you do have projects, they are in private repositories or deployed to your private network.
What a shame this is! You’ve been working hard, but you don’t really have a way to showcase or share your work with the world, or with potential employers. You don’t have a portfolio of work that you can point to and say, “Here’s what I can do!”
How to Build
How to take that script or tool you built and turn it into a proper public project. We’ll cover setting up repos, writing docs, and making your code easy for others to use. Even simple scripts deserve good presentation.
How to Share
How to present your projects so people can understand and use them. Good documentation, clear examples, and simple explanations make all the difference. Your code might be great, but presentation matters too.
How To Monetize
Ways to make money from the projects you build and share. From consulting gigs to digital products, your public work can open doors to income opportunities. We’ll show you the different approaches that actually work.
