> I recently tried to get into Haskell, while also looking for relevant projects written in it on Github and couldn't find anything "interesting" (this may vary from person to person, obviously). Let me try covering interesting for many people (hopefully including you!): Start: https://github.com/topics/haskell https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint https://github.com/jaspervdj/patat https://github.com/smallhadroncollider/taskell https://github.com/fosskers/aura https://github.com/HuwCampbell/grenade https://github.com/Haskell-Things/ImplicitCAD https://github.com/lettier/gifcurry - GIF editor https://github.com/2mol/pboy - pdf management utility https://github.com/ChrisPenner/rasa - Extremely modular text editor built in Haskell https://github.com/samtay/tetris -

Can confirm that it's awesome for getting something small and useful done quickly. I was a beginner Haskell programmer when I first used brick, and it's great exposure to building a real world application (something a lot of Haskell beginners crave learning). Docs are very good too. Code for anyone that might find it useful: https://github.com/2mol/pboy edit: forgot to mention that it's very "Elm architecture", so if you like modern frontend development, then you might feel right at home in that paradigm.
