Recently finished my first professional project (as in the client is actively using the website) and wanted to see if there were ways I could evaluate the overall structure and performance of the webapp (Full-Stack, E-commerce with custom CMS for admin purposes).
The average is:
Performance: 96,
Accessibility: 96,
Best Practices: 96,
SEO: 100.

Is this a reliable way to evaluate my work after-the-fact?

I'm planning a project for a community hub for indie game developers using Next.js and PostgreSQL (among other things).

The goal is to be able to showcase projects, but also allow teams to search for talent (temporary or permanent) to help indie developers to grow and network. Does this sounds like something that would be popular/useful enough to be worth the time I will be putting into it?

Aside from being a full-stack developer, I am also an indie game developer with a small team of 3, and it occurred to me that something like this would be great for myself, just trying to get an idea of if anyone else feels the same as I do.

I am new(ish) to the industry, took a Full-Stack bootcamp on Udemy starting in September of 2024. Now I use the PERN full-stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node), but I have certificates from Udemy for Next.js and Typescript as well. At this point I have one completed professional project, and another in-progress (both being E-commerce), as well as a few personal projects. Every job board I look on has a lot of "Bachelor's in computer science" required, or any relevant to my stack set also have things like Redux, Vue, Docker, Agile, etc.. So I guess my question is, are these things I should practice right away and will having them really help that much to get my foot in the door with an agency? Or should I focus on what I have, apply to some of these anyway, and learn anything new as I go?
Also: I'm on Indeed, LinkedIn, Wellfound, and ARC, any recommendations for web dev specific job boards, or other resources to look for potential full-time careers with a company/agency would be greatly appreciated.
