While it's true that the repos need a read me file, watching apps run and guessing what you should code to replicate them is exactly the purpose of a 25 project ideas blog. In addition, when I created the projects as a beginner, I never read or even for one second thought about instructions. I just figured them out by watching how they worked, which is precisely why I added the try it live section. So if I did it without instructions, anybody could.

I see some people complaining about Readme files and not having instructions. Come on, this are beginner level projects, the idea is to think like a developer, how the app behaves, what are the functionality, what the user can do and what the user will do first, second and so on and not to forget how the app will process the input due to user's interactions. We should we put ourself in user's shoe and just go through the app first and write the code according to that. These apps are ideas and challenges at the same time, it's quite beginner friendly and once you get past these without copying code you will truly be able to think like a developer

The purpose of 25 project ideas is also to challenge yourself, I would think anybody would be able to figure that out. I also completely disagree with your claims of it being fruitless to not include instructions or code. Once, again, I solved the projects without neither so your statement is completely not true and the success of this blog is proof of that.
