Are clones viable projects?

I don’t have any unique ideas for projects. I’m thinking of coding up a few clones of popular apps (Spotify, YouTube, etc.).

I want some perspective on how recruiters would feel about seeing these kinds of clones on a resume. Does it come off as low effort?

Would really appreciate it if anyone has better ideas too.

Well it depends on your experience but technically they are bad and left wrong impressions.

Yep, it seems the same way to me, but it feels like my brain has frozen. What do you consider good projects, and where might I look to for some inspiration?

@BabaYagaa one thing I’ve realised is that 99% of the side project you will see are crud projects. So you can avoid making crud applications and start building some utilities or libraries something like that. It shouldn’t be perfect or completely new. Just take any existing utility and build a toy project of it.

Not really. Clones are bad.

How do you get good ideas, or find inspiration? I can’t seem to get any at all.
