I’ve been wanting to dive into electronics recently as a hobby because I write code all day and would like to work with something similar but physical. Although I’ve identified plenty of excellent sources to learn from, for me, it’s still a case of a solution looking for a problem. Can anyone point me to examples of the sorts of things electronics hobbyists build? Not interested in kits, really. I've been searching for examples of someone who identified a problem and built a solution to solve it.
I typically just throw random, interesting links into a folder. Then periodically I create a new folder named YYYY-MM-DD and move everything into that folder. All of these are moved into an Archive folder to get them out of the way.
