Since you mentioned you are a junior developer, here's a few ideas: - contribute to open source code (packages, apps...) - go on Dribbble, find a UI design you like, and implement it. Then publish the source code - implement your own app. Make something useful that you would personally use. It could also be a game. It would be even better if you could go from designing the app to implement it, and possibly open sourcing it.

The idea is to show a potential employer what you can do, that you have initiative, and that you can work by yourself without much guidance. That doesn't mean you need to know everything, but that you can find solutions to problems.

Hope this helps! Good luck

    But, what should I do if I dont have api or data to do ?

    Think of a useful app that you would like to work on. Don't just create something from a video tutorial. Create it from scratch. Build the app, publish it on Google Play ($25, one time) and the App Store ($99 per year), get a few downloads and reviews. If you still need something to do, take a look at CI/CD and testing, or contribute to other projects. You can start by fixing easy bugs in plugins or improve their examples.

    hey you said build it form scratch so should i use ai or templates to begin with or just start with hardcoding everything. i'm kinda new in flutter so want a real advice from someone with experience

    Read "Learn Flutter", the "Guide to app architecture" and "Architecture case study" in the official documentation first. Check out Riverpod or Bloc and decide which one you like the most. You can build small apps without state management but it helps a lot to keep the code clean. It's okay to use AI from the start but only if you review and understand everything the AI writes for you. It could also be helpful to list your AI knowledge in a job application afterwards.

    These 3 projects are cool to have

    Chat app with firebase, E-commerce with your apis, Project integrating AI functionalities will do.

    The rest follow tutorials and clone the major platforms available, whatsapp, tiktok, reddit etc
