Micro projects to learn new skills and practice old ones. Project ideas from Roadmap

Weather API - Express, TypeScript, Redis, Winston, Nodemon, Axios

• API that returns the data interesting to me from a third party API
• Implemented Redis to practice setting up and utilizing a cache
• Set up a Node server for the first time
• Practice with setting up a logger (in this case, Winston) and using it efficiently

Expense Tracker (WIP) - Ruby on Rails, MySQL, Redis

• Expense tracker app with basic UI
• Set up authentication and JWT token configuration for the first time (main goal of the project)
