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.

Chat client and server for a system that is similar to IRC, but with certificates both for encryption and signing. The idea is that this will provide secure end-to-end communications as well as trusting that the person in the other end isn't just someone with the same nickname.

Isn't that Matrix?

To maybe give you some ideas, have a look at SimpleX and the Nostr. I haven't looked into it in detail yet, but at first glance these two seem to work similarly.
