What cool project have you built using flask so far
Project Ideas for beginner
You should do Flask Mega Tutorial . It's really good and will help you learn Flask step by step. I am doing the same. https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world
If you prefer video Tutorials, check out the Flask Playlist by Corey Schafer on youtube. Both are really good.

Django vs Flask for First Project Ever?
I'll go the opposite direction of u/ILoveBigBlue, and suggest that flask is probably a better approach.
Django teaches you a lot more Django, but not necessarily more python. Sure, Django will force you to use a large amount of object oriented design, but that's a little old-hat. Plus, Django's interface to SQL is basically for people who don't know sql (it's not very efficient).
Flask is a better place to start, it's minimal and sufficient for your use cases. If you want "to learn and scale", then Django is actually not your best bet - it's not asynchronous! This means that in order to scale a Django app, you'll need to load balance across multiple instances and perhaps multiple servers - you'll be learning IT, not Python. And for anyone suggesting that tornado doesn't scale - take a look at dask! dask uses Tornado to asynchronously manage calculations running on massive clusters (the epitome of scale).
TL;DR - Django is a world of it's own with a high learning curve that's getting older and less relevant. Flask is a gateway to Tornado, which is more current (in design) and being actively used by massive, growing projects (like PyData)

Hello,
So I’m looking for different ideas and inspiration when it comes to building something cool and useful.
I would love to hear from the community in terms of what have you built so far in flask
Guys, please suggest a project idea for applying and understanding flask by doing projects step by step.

If you already Grinberg's tutorial (excellent suggestion by u/zecatlays), I suggest you work on a project based on your hobbies or something that could help you with work.
I love whisky and bourbon, so my first personal project is an app that lets users track their whisky collections and show inventory stats: https://dramplus.azurewebsites.net/ (not in flask, but my first project in a stack I was learning).
Other than that, take a look at this awesome list of first time PR suggestions (if you feel like contributing to OSS):

Hi everyone,
I’m new to Flask and want to work on some beginner-friendly projects that can help me improve my skills while staying manageable for a learner.
I’d appreciate any suggestions for projects that:
Cover basic Flask features like routing, templates, and forms.
Are practical or fun to build and learn from.
Can be expanded with additional features as I progress.
Thanks a lot for your ideas and guidance!💗
