I've been using Django both personally and professionally for about 4 years now. The sky is the limit for apps - anything that can benefit from a relational database and a web-based UI is fair game. Some of my personal project ideas were things like: A music library app to catalogue my obscure collection of Danish heavy metal, A home asset management system to catalogue my obscure collection of Danish heavy metal collectable albums, A financial bookkeeping app to figure out how much I've spent on Danish heavy metal and related merch, A beer/wine tracking app, so that I can keep track of what I enjoyed drinking while listening to Danish heavy metal (note that I never built this one, but I've thought about it more than once) The biggest walls I had with Django were deployments. That's kind of where the Django docs kind of end, and the Sys Dev knowledge begins. If you don't want to host it online, install Apache on your local machine and go through the exercise of the server-side configuration for a local deployment. Practice troubleshooting issues through the real server instead of manage.py runserver. Second biggest walls were related to front-end. I know you said you're not knowledgeable about that, but if you're past the basics with Django, take the opportunity to get some front-end exposure. JavaScript isn't going anywhere and front-end frameworks like React are very popular. +1 to the REST API and Django REST Framework to help facilitate this. Keep in mind that while Django templates can be blazingly fast to code and get up-and-running, they often don't compete with the user experience offered by modern frameworks. I spent a lot of time when I was learning trying to hack around templates to turn them into things that they were never meant to be, and mostly it was because I wanted to avoid learning JavaScript. In retrospect, I should have just taken the time to learn JavaScript sooner. The way I see it, you're just those two topics away from being "full-stack". Learning Django was the best thing I did for my career - not solely because of the framework itself, but because it forced me to learn more than I previously knew about the related web technologies and systems.
