I understand how to code… To an extent. I know syntax and can solve problems given a set of tools (such as source code, functions, etc). I’ve made mods and basic programs (literally and figuratively), but I’ve never messed with internet stuff other than networking and mostly on the hardware side.
I don’t expect to make anything that will catch on, but maybe I can make a perfectly adapted thing for my own personal use. Would it be a good learning experience, or would jumping from modding and making, like, a DnD character sheet generator into making a front end for a website/service be a bit of an undertaking?
I’d consider it a large project, especially when you factor in the maintenance for site changes. But I don’t know how difficult it would be for you. You can browse the source code of apps like jerboa or liftoff on GitHub and see if that looks manageable to you.
