Tutorials are just reading the instructions. Making a project is putting the parts together and USING that knowledge. You can't really show that you know much if you haven't made or done much. Portfolio projects are often good insight into what interests you as well - mine involve cars or tabletop gaming because those are heavy interests of mine.

Marissa, what a cool site, I particularly love the styling. I really enjoyed reading that and your racing track website is very cool too! Thank you for sharing

Glad you like them! The racetrack site is an actual business so it's not quite a "screw around" project, but stuff like that is cool to show what you've done and learned.
Early on I made up businesses to do apps for a fake client. Like a little finance app for an imaginary bank, an inventory system for a fake dealership, etc. It's fun to mess with branding and spin up a story to go along with a project.

Do you have a portfolio site? Could I see it? 🙂
Yep, it's on my dev.to profile but here's a direct link: maberresford.com/
I blatantly stole the styling from Visual Studio, which is my preferred IDE :P
