I've listed out sites I'd recommend for ramping up on JavaScript & React in a separate post.

Creating a portfolio

I recommend taking what you're passionate about and using your skills to contribute to that.

For example, I really like training my dogs, so as a project for my portfolio, I could use Next.js to create a PWA that shows tricks I can teach my dogs to help reach AKC certification.

A great initial project is to create a personal website.

For more project ideas, check out GitHub.
