What is your ideal “getting started” project for checking out a framework / library?
Todo projects are boring. ReactJS has a cool Tic-Tac-Toe tutorial. The MERN Stack tutorial has a cool bug tracker application.
As an idea accumulator, I’m curious to see what are some good “getting started” projects for testing waters with a new framework.

An interesting getting started project other than todo might be creating newsfeed since majority of social networking apps/sites today have some sort of feed to show content to users. Another project that might be useful could be simple login/user profile creation since it is used in almost all applications.

For me, a trello like intro would be great. I always liked to do a better TODO, and trello seems to be the right choice.

I think it depends upon what features a particular framework is offering. I made various POC apps on different technologies, depending upon their promises.
For eg.:

For frontend stuff I usually go with some form of responsive UI/menu bar/button.

Something with a 1..N and an N..M relation in it. I'll do a simple link boomarking where I can put links in a collection (1..N) but links also have many tags and many tags can be assigned to a link (N..M).
After that you know a lot of things:
Hope that helps.

As some other answers already pointed out, it depends on the framework in the end.
That aside, being mostly a fullstack/crossplatform developer I think that a good "getting started" project to me would need to have:
So, basically, a TODO list app with first screen fake login, possibility to have more than one list with more than one element each - and maybe give each list a random image get from some random API like https://robohash.org/.
