I've just transferred all of my serious projects on Codeberg over to a separate organisation, and I've noticed that there are now only two mediocre repos on my main profile. Does anyone have any ideas for simple, handy things I could build to flesh it out?

I code mainly in Python, I know HTML (but not JS), I regularly use Bash and Zsh, and I am learning C++.

Why would you need to flesh it out it the first place? If you have serious projects I take it you're not total beginner, so don't waste time on projects with no purpose.

The fact that everyone else skipped to giving suggestions is absolutely wild to me. I hope OP sees your post and takes it seriously. Their only response to a comment noted that they are worried about the project they're interested in being "too professional". What has them thinking that any of these concerns are important?

My objectives are education and fun. I enjoy programming, I want to learn more, and I've been inspired by Brodie Robertson's recent video on novelty software as well.

I'm also applying for computer science courses at a few universities at the moment, and I want them to be impressed. Two repos for projects that haven't been updated since 2022 isn't the best look.

Show people your serious projects. Why are you suddenly pretending that you can't?

The link I gave them was for the organisation I moved the serious stuff to. I did this so I could have more basic, novelty, and experimental repos on my Codeberg, as well as so that other people can "join" the organisation to help work on the projects.

I don't know where you got the idea that I'm pretending I can't show people this stuff. That's not at all the case. I am proud of the software I've written; I just thought I could organise it better.
