Hey everyone, I'm just starting out with JavaScript and have grasped the basics, but I feel stuck when it comes to creating real projects on my own. Currently, I mostly watch tutorial videos and try to recreate them, but I really want to learn how to build something independently. I'm looking for advice on effective ways to practice and develop my skills while working on projects. How do you guys approach this?

The best way to learn is by doing! You can't just watch tutorials and expect to get everything. Jump in and start building something—anything. Maybe start with a simple game or a small utility like a calculator, and gradually work your way up to more complex projects.
Try creating small games on a single webpage using just vanilla JavaScript. Beginning with something straightforward, like a number guessing game or a canvas-based game, can help you gain confidence as you learn about interactivity and animations.
That sounds like a great idea! I think starting small with something fun makes it less intimidating.
