I'm trying to learn rust. I've worked though the rust book but I've stagnated after completing the book. I've always found the easiest way to continue learning is to have an actual project to work on. I'm having a hard time coming up with a project to work on in rust so I'm looking for some suggestions.

A service that downloads the weather for a region using several external apis and then checks what one is most accurate/derive your own increased accuracy weather forecast

I've also just started learning Rust. To stay motivated I've chosen a fairly basic project that helps me with a mundane every day problem that annoys me. I find it's a lot easier to be motivated to work on it because every day, I'm reminded that "oh that thing is so annoying, I need to finish that tool".

I started contributing to Veloren three years ago specifically to work on my Rust. I've learned a whole lot and have had loads of fun! Find an open source project (we'd love help out with Veloren lol) and start contributing :) Also don't be scared off if your first PR goes through a scathing code review. I had never written code as part of a group with experienced members (school projects don't count) so I was ignorant of many helpful conventions and best practices.
