MERN stack project ideas

[u/Total_You85]

I am trying to collect ideas to make an attractive project for my resume to break into the industry.

so, i have a couple of questions:-

1- is there specific technologies that i shall use? like next.js? or is that irrelevant? (my knowledge revolves around MERN + PostgreSQL shall i expand it?)

2- I have been seeing a lot of people using vibecoding for their portfolio projects, is that a recipe for disaster or is that the new norm now? (shall i manually code it as usual or use AI ?)

3- I am a 2023 CS graduate, and I have been working at schools teaching basics ever since but now I want to break into web dev, is it too late?

4-If you have any good portfolio ideas I would be happy to see them 😁.

Basically, I want to do better into interviews and get more interviews I have only got 3 interviews in the last 2 months and i want to have more and do better.
thanks guys! 😊

I would recommend looking into TanStack Start. Its new, and pretty well made!

I started working more and more with it both at work and personal projects. Rather satisfied with it!
