I'm going to do some blog series on writing applications in Go—kinda like WTF Dial, but I'll actually finish it this time. 😂 Does anyone have ideas for applications to build? I'm looking for something real-world & useful (unlike WTF Dial).

@alexellisuk I dunno yet. Figuring out the app feels like half the battle. 😂

@benbjohnson WTF Dial was useful (as a concept) in March when everyone started WFH. Thought about it often.

@wikiwalk That's a good point. I might redo WTF Dial as a first app. It's pretty small and easy to get going.

@allingeek Anything really. I was originally thinking a web app but I'm down for some low-level tools. 🕺

@TheSytten Hey Émile! I’m rebuilding WTF Dial (and actually finishing it this time). I should have it back up in the next two weeks.

@gjohnson391 I've written on structuring code a bunch before but I'm hoping something concrete will help folks more.

@benbjohnson Is adding to an existing project an option (thinking something like step 1) learn what's there step 2) get a handle on the feature request and where it will fit in step 3) build step 4) watch the response from the world of existing users
