I'm still new in the dev space. I've watched a lot of videos on HTML, CSS and JS, but no project to show for it. This weekend, I want to start working on something. However, I have no idea what to start working on. I also want to build my CV and portfolio, but I've got no projects and experience. I need help on all these.

The world's your oyster! If you want to dive right in, I'd recommend Free CodeCamp's Web Design Projects to serve as a starting point. You can also refer back to their lessons if you need a refresher!

The best way to learn is by just doing, and a great place to start is by building something you want to use! Even if it's something that has already been made a million times, and something that you don't really expect anyone else will use, it's just so satisfying to use a tool that you built yourself.

As an example, I play a lot of board games, and I love to make small scorekeeping apps such as this one. It's a simple concept but with enough complexity for me to learn. Making a scorekeeper is my go-to for learning a new language or framework, which is much more interesting than the standard to-do list or weather widget apps!
