Not sure how clean you want the audio to be but in a project I’m working on I’m using the input microphone to analyze the audio to build a music visualizer. https://soundq.co
Shufflz is an implementation of the 15 puzzle game using Svelte and Tailwind CSS in under 100 lines of code.
I used to play 15 back when I was a kid and I thought it would be a cool little project to write the game from scratch using a modern web stack and play it with my daughter.
I have two at the moment working on a third. The first one I’ve made around 2k last year the other one is in stealth mode as it depends on a functionally from the third one.
I gotta say it’s pretty hard to work on side projects and have a life if you hold a regular job and family but it’s doable.
My utopia is to build side projects that are fully automated and self sufficient so I don’t need to spend times on things I don’t enjoy like support etc.
What got my foot on the door was to have a side project, not any MVP but a finished product with nice UI, well written README page etc. That would be a good
start to go along with leet code etc.
I’ve built a shed for many of the reasons mentioned and it was such a rewarding and gratifying experience.
Just seeing that constant tangible progress and the primal feeling of building something that protects you from the elements felt strangely satisfying.
