I recently finished reading the official Rust documentation. And now I realize that during all this time (2 months), while I was reading and learning new language concepts, I never practiced anywhere (except rustlings). And I really want to see what I'm capable of and test my skills. I've come to the conclusion that I need to write my own projects! This is true (because many people recommend it), but I don't have enough imagination at all to come up with a project, make a plan and implement it. Because I don't understand which project to write, where to start, and so on. I'm thinking of writing something related to a web server, but there's another problem. I don't have enough knowledge about modules to implement the project (for example, a web server). But if I study the packages for this project, I won't be able to put everything together and won't write anything. I've already tried to study packages/modules for writing my projects, but I can't put all the knowledge together and just apply it. That's why I have TWO huge problems. Problem 1: I don't have enough imagination and clarity of thought to come up with some simple project that would allow me to test my skills for the first time and identify weaknesses. Problem 2: even if I find some simple project, I need to study modules for it (for example, to create a simple web server), but I don't have enough information about where to look for these modules and what to do with them when I study them! I'm really looking forward to your answer and advice. What did you do along the way, what were your actions (after reading the official rust-book/rust-by-example documentation). Thank you in advance for your reply!
