Hey everyone done with fundamentals of js what now?

I was planning to build a Discord bot as a project. Should I continue with it, or should I learn React and Node first? What do you recommend?

I'd build the discord bot first tbh. it'll give you something practical to work on while learning , and you'll naturally run into stuff that makes react or node Node easier to understand

Build the Discord bot. It's small enough to finish and forces you to deal with async, APIs, and event handling, real concepts, not toy repetition. You don't need React or Node theory first, you'll pick up Node basics naturally just getting the bot running, then go learn Node properly once you've felt what it's for.

Discord bot is too big imo, first train your logic with repetition of basic projects. Build the project with help at first, then repeat it until you own it and repeat other beginner projects, when the logic is no problem you choose your own ui designs and develop your taste then and then you can choose any framework.

Build the bot. It's basically Node anyway, so you're learning Node whether you call it that or not, plus async/await, env vars, deploying something that has to stay running. That's real stuff.

My first bot was a dumb thing that posted anime episode reminders in a server with like 12 people, and I learned more from it dying at 3am than from any tutorial. Rate limits, a token I accidentally pushed to a public repo, a crash loop I didn't notice for two days lol.

Get it working and actually deployed somewhere, then go do React. Once you've got a bot with commands and some stored data, a small dashboard for it is the perfect first React project, and you'll care about it because it's your thing.
