Hey folks, want to drop a few cents from me. But before, I truly want to say that I appreciate everyone sharing their ideas for projects! It would be so much easier for me to follow my path of becoming a more proficient engineer (from frontend and backend perspectives) if I found a subject like this years ago!

These days, I'm taking a similar approach as many people choose - doing side projects that solve my own problems. And recently, I decided to share a project idea (or rather a project assignment) for junior frontend developers that they could build to add it up to their portfolio and get interesting, challenging, and at the same time well-paid jobs.

So I'd like to share as it junior devs may be coming to the subject (like we all once were) as well and many of the mentioned projects are quite advanced in terms of skill level.

The project is called "Housework Todoer" - it is an app that you could build to solve the problem of parents looking for ways to encourage their kids to help with the housework.
Hopefully, working on a project that has a background story (like a user story in agile) and a nice-looking design will be quite interesting and fun, while still providing a challenge to hone your skills. Having one more (or the first) project is in your portfolio is a huge bonus, in my opinion.
