Great idea! Please keep us posted on how it goes, I'd like to hear and maybe do something similar when my schedule will permit. Do you already have a project? If not, with a partner or alone, I can propose you to restyle/update and keep open source Has Gluten [1].
I started working on HG two years ago, open sourced the code [2], but never really had the time to give it the love it needs (updating to a newer version of React, make the code nicer, blog about it...).
If you'd like to give it a boost, I'm happy to leave it as a playground and support where needed -- assuming the core functionality will still be there. We've had already a good number of friends from all over the world contributing with UI improvements and translations.
Incidentally this is how I learned React, and in fact this is not much more than React tutorial (searchable list) with a slightly better UI, and backed by a google spreadsheet. I also integrated ads sense, with the idea to pay back the $12/y of the domain, but I think there's some issue loading. Overall I think a project like this could teach you quite a good number of reusable skills.

Hey! I think it would be better to give me your email address and join us on slack and we will talk there more on every subject you want. What do you say? :)
