Hi @Ilay

1. Employee Directory App
Search, filter, and view employee profiles
Cool UI: profile cards, filters, map view (for office locations)

2. Leave & Vacation Manager

Request/approve vacations
Calendar view + notifications + role-based access (HR Manager demo?)

3. Task & Project Tracker
Boards like Trello, task assignments, and progress tracking
Responsive for both web & mobile

Thanks @Pawan Purohit and @AMAN JOSHI for the suggestions.

My point is a little different. The idea behind this question is for any new users of OutSystems, along with intermediate users, to pick up projects and build using OutSystem with different difficulty levels.

Yes, there is the Employee Directory app in the training and I am sure there are many others online if you Google. However, the idea is to help people develop the relevant skills just following these examples. Ideas should be somewhat detailed, like in the training, but without step by step details, empowering the learners... Starting with a User Story (Journey). Then the developer can expand on this. Example of this might contain excel files to create and load entities and data, creating entity relationships. Samples of what the UI should look like, the business process flow, users involved etc. It would be great to compose a list of sites to such content would be most helpful for new starters in my opinion. Then, expanding this with using SOA, creating multiple modules, libraries and so on...

This is an idea to start off with to help solidify concepts with hands on experiences. 

I will do some googling this weekend to start such list. I am sure it will be very helpful to many in various ways.

Thanks in advance.

One approach I’d recommend: Pick an existing UI design you really like from platforms like Pinterest, Dribbble, or Behance. Open that design and try to extract high-level user stories based on how the app looks and flows. Ask yourself:

• What is the user trying to achieve on each screen?

• What features are implied by the design?

• What kind of user roles might be involved?

Once you’ve listed those out, spend some time grooming the stories—break them down into manageable tasks, define priorities, and organize them into sprints.

Then you can start building the app UI in OutSystems, since the design is already there—this lets you focus on translating that experience into a working prototype.

It’s a great way to build both your UX eye and your delivery skills.

Hey @Ilay  Since I am also new to Outsystems, I would recommend several amazing UI-based Web and mobile applications to you.

* Grocery apps (where you can utilize nice styles like photos, cards, zoom effects, Caurosel images, double-shaded CSS for backdrop, and more)...

* The IMDB movie rating app, where you can contribute detailed information and vibrant movie photographs 

Hi @Ilay ,

That's fantastic! Additionally, I'm investigating concepts for OutSystems demo apps. I typically use websites like Dribbble, Behance, and Mobbin for inspiration when looking for simple UI/UX designs. For app ideas, a smart to-do list with AI suggestions, a personal finance tracker, or even a planner for community events could be excellent places to start. I'm excited to see what you think of.

A messaging application like whatsapp, with push notification, will help new learners to howe we implement it in Outsystems.

Hi @Ilay 

You can create Patient Portal

Where Patient can book appointment and able to see appointment status 

Docter can approve/ cancel appointment and update treatment detail after approving the request.

Hi @Ilay,

I would highly recommend to have a look at the below as well.

1.  Spotify - (It has very seamless UI)

2. Google Pay (Clean, Fast & Fluid Interaction)

3. Groww App - (It's perfect example of simplicity over complexity, the graphs are amazing)

4. Outsystems Home Page - (I must say it's too good, so much of the efforts whole team has put, it's smooth and very inspiring)

They are not ordered high to low, it's just the list, many of them are out of my head, but really each app stands out in itself.
