Is there a site that teaches you how to build clones of existing sites/apps?
From a recruiting or hiring standpoint, is this strategy a bad idea?
I want to level up my portfolio by building my own version of popular sites and apps. I have names and concepts for some of them already, color schemes, layouts, UIs drawn out. I've built plenty of websites for clients but I want to level up my skills to apply for higher level jobs and land bigger projects for my agency/consultancy.
I've heard of CodeSchool, Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp, PluralSight, Egghead, Siteground. Haven't used all of them but have been to all their sites (not recently for a few of them). If there are others out there, I would love to know. If one of these is the BEST, I would love to know that as well.
Thanks for any insight and direction. I really appreciate it!

- rblion 8y agothanks! this is perfect. AirBnB is one of the main ones for me. :) I also don't know Ruby on Rails, so this would help for sure. I wonder if there are others like this site with more stuff, more languages.
- harrisreynolds 8y agoI've thought about building this given that I've built solutions for: - Grocery Delivery (Shipt) - Gym Management and Scheduling (SimpleGym.co) - Data Visualization Platform (https://chart.ly https://chart.ly) - Photo editor - Email marketing (salesjoy.co) - Football Pick'em Site - Job listing site - and others Would be a fun to do, but just haven't gotten around to it. Best of luck with your growth!
- rblion 8y agoCool! This is the kind of stuff I'd like to build in React/Node. Guess I could just do it with Google searches and the documentation. StackOverflow when stuck. Thanks! I learn the most when I am building things I would use myself.
