I'm trying to learn rust. I've worked though the rust book but I've stagnated after completing the book. I've always found the easiest way to continue learning is to have an actual project to work on. I'm having a hard time coming up with a project to work on in rust so I'm looking for some suggestions.

I started contributing to Veloren three years ago specifically to work on my Rust. I've learned a whole lot and have had loads of fun! Find an open source project (we'd love help out with Veloren lol) and start contributing :) Also don't be scared off if your first PR goes through a scathing code review. I had never written code as part of a group with experienced members (school projects don't count) so I was ignorant of many helpful conventions and best practices.
