Javascript projects for practice.

I am liking treehouse so far but i am finding that i learn faster by trying to build small projects and seeing where i fail whilst using resources like W3 and treehouse for checking problems, with that said can anybody give me some project ideas to try, preferably real world problems that could be useful in some way. I know that in future "redesigning the wheel" is a bad idea but for know knowing how to make some wheels i think will be useful.

Karan Goel has put together a great list of small project assignments that can be solved in any language.

To add onto this: There is a subreddit, /r/DailyProgrammer, where challenges are posted 3 times a week, each increasing in difficulty as the week goes on.

If you'd like, there is even a list of all the challenges that have ever been posted: http://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/wiki/challenges

I'm so glad I ran in to this thread while googling. This is one of the many issues I have found as well. Trying to find projects or ideas to just work on in the wild. Thank you guys for giving some great resources.

Same here, William! I understand that the best way to retain what we've learnt is to actually use the information more than just for the lessons on here and these suggestions are perfect for this. Thanks, guys.
