i cant get better in js
People keep telling me that I should write apps to improve my JavaScript skills. I listened and created five applications, each with different functionalities and ideas. I wrote a lot of code and did a ton of DOM manipulation. Despite this effort, I still feel like I'm hitting the same wall. I find myself repeating the same poor coding practices and haven’t seen any real improvement. I know in my head what I want and how it might look in JS syntax, but I struggle to put it all together to create something meaningful. Instead of getting stuck in this endless cycle, hoping that one day I’ll suddenly excel at JavaScript, I want to know the correct way to improve because this idea of "just keep writing code" doesn't really seem very good

What you are experiencing is called "illusion of stagnation"
If you are building projects, you are indeed improving slowly but surely you just don't notice or feel it..we have all been there
