As someone who is currently trying to self-teach web dev this really resonates.

I think the issue I have is that “build a to-do list” is a much more nebulous concept than “build a to-do list with React”. I seem to find more tutorials etc for the latter, even though they’re clearly not aimed at Javascript beginners.

Are there any good resources you’d recommend for someone who’d like to try and build web apps without a framework but has never done it before? I’m fine with static sites, I’ve got the basics of Javascript and I can get by with some Jquery, but there’s obviously a lot more to it than that.
