I just wanted to share an idea to help build your portfolio for people looking for front end or back end jobs and want to make it stand out from other FCC portfolios.
If you go to a freelance site like Upwork, there are descriptions of real work that people need to have done that are fairly straightforward in terms of the FCC curriculum. Here are a few ideas:
Spend a few hours implementing them, add to your portfolio and now not only will yours stand out but you can also confidently bid on projects knowing you can do the work.
