A Side Project is something you do aside from your main job to fuel your passion while learning something new. This quote is very close to my heart,

In vain have you acquired knowledge if you have not imparted it to others.

With this in mind, let me share my learning from the side projects accomplished in the year 2020. The primary purpose of this article is to share the GitHub repositories with relevant details. Each of the repositories has a well-explained readme.md file to guide how to use the project.

All these projects are open-source. Feel free to try, fork, contribute, and I hope you find them useful.
