Building square wheels to better appreciate the round ones. -Sphaerophoria
Making a clone of an app is a very popular thing to do, especially for youtube content. Often times these clones are of popular social media apps e.g. an instagram clone, or a discord clone. However, something way more impactful is going to be learning how to make a clone of a tool that you use to make these apps. e.g. making a text editor, making a database, making git, or hell making an OS. This is what @Sphaerophoria likes to do on his channel.
- Making a video editor
- a QR code decoder
- Zlib
- Git Gui
- TV Tracker
- Linux webcam driver
- A terminal
- A File system
- Image to text Neural network
- An Operating system
- “Stream Stimulator” in a game engine
All of these are non-trival and not something you can/should make with web technology.
