React App Project Ideas
A comprehensive list of project ideas for React developers, categorized by
difficulty.
---
**BEGINNER-FRIENDLY PROJECTS**
---
* **To-Do List Application:** The classic starter project. Manage a list of items,
add new ones, and mark them as complete or delete them. Focus on state management
with `useState`.
* **Weather App:** Fetch data from a free weather API (like OpenWeatherMap) to
display the current weather for a user's location. Great for practicing API calls
with `useEffect` and `fetch`.
* **GitHub Profile Viewer:** Enter a GitHub username to fetch and display profile
information (avatar, bio, repos) using the GitHub API.
* **Quiz App:** Create a simple multiple-choice quiz. Track the user's score and
progress through questions using component state.
* **Recipe Finder:** Build an app that searches for recipes using a free API (like
TheMealDB) and displays the results in a user-friendly format.
* **Quote of the Day Generator:** Display a random quote fetched from an API.
Include a button to get a new quote and an option to share it.
* **Markdown Previewer:** An app with two panels. The user writes Markdown in one,
and the other shows the rendered HTML in real-time.

**INTERMEDIATE PROJECTS**
---
* **E-commerce Product Page:** Develop a detailed product page with an image
gallery, product variations (size, color), and an "Add to Cart" button that updates
a global cart state (using Context API or Redux Toolkit).
* **Blogging Platform Frontend:** Create the frontend for a blog. Users can see a
list of posts, click to read a full post, and submit new posts via a form. This is
a great way to learn client-side routing with React Router.
* **Movie & TV Show Tracker:** Use an API like The Movie Database (TMDB). Allow
users to search for content, view details, and add items to a personal watchlist
that persists in local storage.
* **Kanban Board (Trello Clone):** A drag-and-drop task management board. This
project is excellent for learning about more complex state management and
implementing drag-and-drop functionality using a library like `react-beautiful-
dnd`.
* **Music Player (Spotify Clone):** Use the Spotify API to search for tracks,
browse playlists, and play 30-second song previews. This involves handling audio
playback and OAuth for authentication.
* **Job Board Aggregator:** Fetch job listings from an API (like the GitHub Jobs
API) and implement search and filtering based on keywords, location, and job type.
* **Interactive Data Visualization Dashboard:** Pick a dataset and use a charting
library like Recharts or Chart.js to create interactive graphs and charts that
visualize the data.
