# What Should I Work On?

Instantly generate personalized and buildable project ideas tailored to your skills, interests, experience level, and availability.

---

## Inspiration

This project was built as part of the **Boot.dev Hackathon** and inspired by my own journey as a self-taught developer.

Throughout my learning experience, I often found myself spending more time searching for unique and meaningful project ideas than actually building them. I created this tool to help learners like myself cut through the noise and get inspired faster; whether you're prepping a portfolio, hacking at a hackathon, or just trying to learn something new.

---

## Features

- Personalized project ideas based on:
  - Your tech stack
  - Interests
  - Availability
  - Skill level
- Clean and responsive UI (built with React + Tailwind CSS)
- Smooth user feedback with toasts and loading indicators
- AI-generated ideas using OpenAI's GPT-3.5
- Deployed and ready for anyone to use (link coming soon!)
