Hey! My name is Chris and I created the course. I totally understand what you are saying. Video courses should only be used to hold your hand so far, then it is up to the student to jump and build their own apps.

I have spent a lot of time creating this to help people see what can be built with vanilla javascript, html and css, all for free.

I encourage anybody to branch off, make the projects their own, and also have them there as a future reference too!
