What to do as your first project?

So as a beginner software and web developer you might get stuck on what to do but don't worry I was there too and still struggling to find my way out so think of this as an older sister guide.

Here are some beginner projects I would recommend:
**1. To-Do List Application
Create a simple to-do list app where users can add, delete, and mark tasks as completed. This project helps you learn about DOM manipulation, event handling, and localStorage for persisting data.

**2. Calculator
Build a basic calculator that can perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This project will help you practice handling user inputs and performing mathematical operations.

**3. Weather App
Create a weather application using a public API like OpenWeatherMap. This will help you learn how to fetch data from an API, parse JSON, and display data dynamically.

**4. Quiz App
Develop a quiz application where users can answer multiple-choice questions. You can display the score at the end and even add a timer for each question. This project will help you practice handling arrays and user interactions.

**5. Recipe App
Create a recipe app where users can search for recipes by ingredient or name. Use a public API like TheMealDB to fetch recipe data. This will give you practice with API integration and handling search functionality.

**6. Expense Tracker
Build an expense tracker where users can add, edit, and delete expenses. Show a summary of total expenses and categorize them. This project will help you practice CRUD operations and localStorage.

**7. Image Gallery
Create an image gallery that displays a collection of images. Add features like image filtering, searching, and lightbox viewing. This project will help you work with arrays, filtering, and modal dialogs.

**8. Memory Game
Develop a memory game where users have to match pairs of cards. This project will help you practice working with arrays, event handling, and DOM manipulation.

**9. Tip Calculator
Build a tip calculator that calculates the tip based on the bill amount and selected tip percentage. This project will help you practice handling user inputs and performing calculations.

**10. Clock
Create a real-time clock that displays the current time and updates every second. You can add features like a stopwatch or timer to make it more interactive. This project will help you work with date and time functions in JavaScript.

**11. Random Quote Generator
Develop a random quote generator that fetches and displays a new quote each time a button is clicked. You can use a public API for quotes or store a collection of quotes in an array.

**12. Landing Page with Modal
Create a landing page with a call-to-action button that opens a modal dialog. The modal can contain a sign-up form or additional information. This project will help you practice working with CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity.
These are projects I recommend especially when you have the knowledge in CSS,HTML ,REACT AND JAVASCRIPT...Good luck pookies.
