How to build fully fledged projects?

Hi everyone,

this must have been asked before, but where can I find extensive tutorials on building fully fledged web apps?
There are so many tutorials on basic HTML/CSS/JS/Node.js/Express stuff and making smaller games etc., but how can I get to the next level? I feel it's like learning an instrument and I can play the intro to Stairway to Heaven, but can't really take it beyond & improvise at a Jam session.
My goal would be to go to the "products" page on IH and know exactly what would be needed to build sth like this, estimate how much effort it is & be able to build similar products or at least practice by copying existing websites.

Appreciate any learning path/resources on how to step up my game and becoming able to build meaningful products.

Best,
SEO

    The way I learned was to dream up personal projects that were outside my current skillset, beyond what I'd built before, pick the technology I wanted to learn, then pound my head against the wall, figuring it out until it was built. Repeat. 20 years on I'm still doing this.

    build what you can, get some customers in, learn their needs, learn how to build, expand, repeat

    I'm not sure about your first ask of how you get to the next level - offhand build something next level.

    On your second ask of understanding how a fully fledged project was built, we made https://github.com/Uclusion/uclusion_web_ui public hoping it would help someone like you. You can even fork it, run it locally and play around with making changes.

    Twice people actually briefly worked for us for free. However these were already next level developers who just wanted experience with React or Material UI .
