You don't need to invent new things. In fact, I bet 99% of what you're thinking at the moment, already presented on the Internet in some hidden corners (StackOverflow, Reddit, Quora, Medium, Dev, etc., you name it).

Wrting a blog means expressing one specific topic in your voice. Your niche in this case is JavaScript tutorial. You can write about one aspect of JavaScript development, your own learning experience, anything.

Regarding the value, personally, it helps me solidify my knowledge, while being a way to entertain myself during spare time. In a sense, it resembles a developer advocate role. Blogging also is a way to bring me oppurtunities, think it as a portfolio of some sort.

Is it valueable to the others? There is no objective answer. Go ahead and write your first article then wait a day, a week, or a month. Look at the traffic and engagement stats after that and you will know if your article is helpful. If the stats are not satisfied, look back and think why your article was not attractive, then learn a way to improve the quality.
