Mega Project List by Karan Goel is a massive list of practical programming project ideas that anyone can solve in any programming language, organized into logical categories (Numbers, Classic Algorithms, Data Structures, Text, Networking, Web, Files, Graphics & Multimedia, Security, etc.). The concept is simple but powerful: instead of just memorizing algorithms, you pick a project (for example “Binary to Decimal and Back Converter”), implement it in your favorite language, and gradually build a portfolio of varied programming tasks. The repository has been widely referenced as a go-to for developers looking for ideas to practice, build side-projects, or create interview-prep exercises. Each entry is described in plain language, often with optional “added complexity” suggestions. The repo encourages contributions: you can add new projects, or strip duplicate items, and you can choose any language to implement.
Features
- Large curated list of project prompts covering algorithms, data structures, web, files, security, graphics and more
- Tasks written to be language-agnostic so you can implement in any programming language you preferred
- Contribution guidelines to add new projects or manage the list meaningfully
- Categorization of tasks into topics like Numbers, Web, Networking, Graphics for structured practice
- Encourages portfolio-building through self-study and project implementation
- Useful for interview preparation, skill sharpening, and self-paced learning
