Hey everyone! I've just finished a JavaScript course, and I'm eager to work on my first coding project to add to my portfolio. My ultimate aim is to become a full-stack JavaScript developer. I realize I need to engage with frameworks and back-end technologies soon, but I want to start with a project that aligns with my current skills. I'm looking for something that can help me grow, is manageable in terms of time, and that will showcase what I can do. Any project ideas you can share?

How about building a web calculator? You could have it calculate and display the order of operations, and if you're feeling ambitious, add a feature to graph functions too!
If you’re familiar with a bit of HTML and maybe CSS, my first project was a login simulation webpage. I used dummy data for user authentication, which was pretty straightforward and a great way to get started without needing a database. I spent a couple of days making it look nice too! I can share my GitHub repo if you’re interested.
A simple 2D physics simulator could be an exciting challenge! Just make sure you're comfortable with the physics concepts, as it might get tricky depending on how deep you want to go.
One of my first projects was creating a Roman numeral converter. It was a fun way to get my hands dirty with JavaScript! You should definitely give it a try.
What about creating a web page that assists you in choosing your next project? It could be a fun way to explore different ideas and maybe even quiz users on their interests!
Great question! I’d suggest doing something that genuinely interests you. The more passion you have for the project, the better the outcome will be!
That sounds like a solid project! Maintaining a website will look great in your portfolio.
