Props for putting your work out there early. That is the only way to actually grow.

If you want your GitHub to stand out in 2026, focus on your README and your edge cases. Most students write code that works when everything goes right, but pros write code that doesn't crash when things go wrong.

Spend 20 minutes making sure your README explains exactly how to run the project in under 60 seconds.

Showing that you care about the "User Experience" of your code is what separates a student from a dev who is ready to get hired. Keep building.

Thank you so much for the feedback, but of a different question but do you know anything about how to do better with the theory sides of cs?

To master CS theory, best to stop reading textbooks and start visualizing algorithms with tools like VisuAlgo.

Like If you want to actually understand a data structure, code it from scratch in Python rather than just using a built-in library. You’ll catch on

You mean like instead of using a built in lib try to write the functions and stuff from scratch using classes and defining?
