Rails - May 2014 - Career Change - Building a Portfolio Advice

So someone posted previously that they were attempting to make a 
significant industry change into Ruby On Rails and I'm doing the same thing.

I realize one of the most important things in getting a job in ROR or Ruby 
is a portfolio demonstrating what you can do.  I'm wondering if people have 
suggestions for some 'small' portfolio building type projects.  I have
many
ideas but they are kind of huge engrossed projects that I still need to 
think out.  I have one small opportunity as a co-worker has a photo upload 
site he has for mountain climbing that is pretty primitive (and allows me 
to work out my first 'non hartl tutorial' gem in Paperclip) but I was 
wondering if any other people had any portfolio ideas that were things you 
could build on your own without needing a client?

I have done numerous web searches on the idea in the past and never came up 
with any quality search results.
