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.

I recently wrote a tool to make my D&D games a little easier. It's a web app that lets you load up an encounter's worth of enemies and keep track of their health (plus extra stuff, like legendary actions). And it does the math for you, which is a huge weight off my mental load.

It would be neat to expand it with an API that lets you load in monsters from a database and calculate the encounter difficulty, but I'm in no hurry. I don't usually have a lot of energy to code on weekends now that it's my full time job.
