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?

Eat your own dog food. Solve a problem that you have, even if it’s dumb. Build that thing out of the pieces you know like with Legos.
