## What it is
A collection of beginner-friendly vanilla JavaScript projects accompanying John Smilga's JavaScript course, ranging from a color flipper and counter to sliders, modals, and a full e-commerce site. Each project is a small standalone web app built with HTML, CSS, and plain JavaScript.

- practice dom manipulation exercises
- find beginner javascript project ideas
- study examples of modals sliders and tabs in vanilla js
