If you are starting on the journey to becoming a Front End Developer, once you get the basics down, you might want to develop projects as the best way to learn any skill is to try creating something hands-on. This article is for anyone trying to take their skills to the next level, as well as for people who is at a loss for project ideas.

Here are five project ideas to help you out, according to no order.

1. Real-Time Chat App

A Real-Time chat application sends and shows messages to a recipient instantly without any page refresh.

This is a very lucrative project to have in your portfolio as it showcases that you have experience working with real-time data as well as authentication. If you are a Full-Stack Developer, you might also want to create the backend for the application for some extra brownie points in the eyes of the person checking it out.

4. Cross-Platform App

Cross-Platform Applications are apps developed to function on multiple Operating Systems from the same code base.
