Sorry, I know this isn’t exactly a dev question, but how do I make a project without a tutorial? I know how to make functional code that does simple things, or to solve a problem/question. But nw I want to try to make some projects to add to my portfolio. I’ve found websites with different ideas, and I can find some tutorials, but what if I don’t have a tutorial? Like, what do I do if I want to make something from scratch myself?
Yes, you will be threatened with death.
The classic answer is, do research and try to find existing projects that fulfill similar functions. Learn the jargon and functional features in the space that you want to create a solution for. So what do you want to make? What exists that is similar? Why are these solutions falling short?
