Nice post. I'd like to add my 2 cents:
If you have a dream job that you'd like, or maybe a target company, try creating projects aligned with the industry or end-user.
If you want to work at Spotify, why not trying to create a streaming app? etc.

Also for us, would be great if you could write some requirements, it help us building our โ€œproblem solvingโ€ skill. You could do something like:

:

  • users can login
  • users can register
  • they should upload file
  • they could list it in a category
  • they coukd get likes and comments

Something like that so we can start improving our problem solving skill! This thing, I think that will help many beginners.

Thank you so much!

Very good project ideas! I just started university and from my personal experience, I have a lot of experience using JS so I want to start building my portfolio again(I was moving my repositories from public to private for making better and good projects) so Iโ€™ve been struggling with ideas for some time.

Thank you so much for ideas!
