PassionNet

Explore your passions with the internet.

My passion project is to create a web app / mobile app which generates a random website or pulls a random website form a database based on key interests the user enters into their profile. The purpose of this project is to bring users directly websites which will help them to further their interests or passions by surfing the far corners of internet. The app will either ask them for their interests, which will be matched with tags attached to each site in the database - or ask them to enter a phrase or questions regarding what they're looking for. Continuing to search following their query, they will be brought directly to what is deemed the most accurate result. A navigation bar will be attached to the top of the page which will enable the user to move left and right, from result to result until they find what interests them.

This is something I feel passionate about because, as a technologist I have a desire to always continue learning. The late stumble upon was a tool I used regularly to find resources and tools recommened, reviewed and rated by strangers over the internet. This tool allowed me to learn new things and find new ideas for overcoming challenges in both my personal and professional life. I'd like to reinvent this idea, expanding on the concept of creating a community of support, and resources for people who share interests.
