Looking for project ideas.

Hello folks, I am a beginner web developer and I am looking for project ideas that I can build and get myself a job. Would you please suggest a project that you used to land a tech job or that can be good for a portfolio.
Thank you in advance.

Hey there! As a moderator of DEV and member of the Forem team, I just wanted to let you know that adding the #help tag to this post could help surface it to those who are actively seeking to answer questions like this! I recommend swapping our your #portfolio tag with the help tag. :)

Hello, welcome to the DEV world!
From an employer perspective build E-Commerce websites, CRM, CMS, LMS. That's all you're also gonna be doing in real life job. Start now, so that you'll be ready to work with such projects and algorithms.
All the best 🥂

Hey there, do you currently have a portfolio with any projects?

Do you want to focus on the front-end or back-end?

If so, a pretty common one would be to build something that uses an API, think weather web app or Unsplash client.

You could even get some projects under your belt by using designs from dribbble and recreating them

Let us know what you build!

Hi, I just started a side-project for a simple language learning game. While I'm mostly doing it as a hobby and learning unfamiliar technologies, I would also be happy to use it as a portfolio. For me language learning is a hobby... I'd choose something that interests you as that will keep you interested rather than creating another to-do app.

Hi too. This sounds great. I have a few on my portfolio and I hope to get more done out of creativity. Thank you

Sure. The only problem is that there are only a few meetups organized here in Kenya. I'll try and check the repo. Thank you
