If you are reading this article, I’m willing to bet you have also read your fair share of “side project ideas” posts. I also love going through those, curious as I am, in search of some magical spark, some rabbit hole to lose myself in with abandon for a couple of months.

Well, this is not that kind of post. Not in isolation, at least. This will be a trilogy of articles about side projects and rest assured, part II is already here, with a list of 12 fun side projects that people will want to use.

And on part III, we conclude this trilogy with a collection of tips and strategies to increase your chances of getting the most out of your side projects.
