What are some projects I can do to make myself hireable as a full stack web developer?

Next.JS is awesome, and its file system router is the best. But does a full-stack developer needs a U.G / P.G degree?

I am 18 years old, passed 10th class but the school didn't even teach me about programming, I am a self-learned frontend developer and just started learning backend dev using node. Going to school sucks, and the real question is How do I get experience? to work if I am a fresher.

Yeah!!! Thinking of a project idea has never been easy, atleast for me!! I think and think and think and then come up with the idea but at last give up on it because I don't find it interesting anymore. Although the project could have added great value to my portfolio but what's point in doing something that doesn't keep you moving...

Any suggestions to keep me focused on a single thing at a time.

Hey 👋 IMO It should be a project that :

  • you can use it after
  • give you some technical challenge to tackle
  • will not take too much time to develop
  • you could present in interviews

A suggestion:
A web application, where you and your friends can share pictures. Some technical task it will imply :

  • authentification
  • handle forms
  • upload files
  • a gallery of images

Hope it helps. 😀
