The hardest part of a final-year project is often just choosing a topic. Below are proven capstone and thesis project ideas — grouped by the kind of system they are — drawn from our library of working source-code projects. Each links to a full guide explaining the system, its features, the technology stack and what you will learn by building it. Pick one that solves a real problem for a real user, and keep the scope finishable in a semester.

How to turn an idea into a capstone
Once you have a topic, write a proposal that states the problem, the target users, the scope (what is in and what is out), the tools you will use, and how you will measure success. Then build one core workflow end to end before adding features. For the write-up, follow our chapter-by-chapter documentation guide and prepare for the panel with our defense questions guide.
