Sounds like a good idea.

What worries me a bit in this idea is that it takes a surprising amount of time to polish a project so that it is "done". Or at least left in a state where it is easy to pick up later, by yourself or someone else.

I have tons of projects where the "beef" is mostly done but README, example code, tests, etc are lacking.

Starting a project takes surprisingly long too. Setting up a build system, test framework, CI builds etc always take much longer than I anticipate.

Keep these pitfalls in mind. Best of luck to you.
