### Enhance previous projects:

Enhanced versions of some of the projects you built at the academy, for example:

- Starwars Reading List: You can make this a social reading club, everyone has a password and shares they favorites.
- Contact List: Make the contact list a CRM, basically you add a "status" to each contact and then the sale people can change the contact status based on the sale process.
- Todo List: Todos don't need to have just two status: Done or Not done, you can make them have several like: Not doing, Doing, Done, Approved, Rejected, etc. That will make your todo list a project management tool with stages.
Star Wars Reading List: You can make this a social reading club, everyone has a password and shares their favorite.
- Contact List: Make the contact list a CRM, basically you add a "status" to each contact, and then the salespeople can change the contact status based on the sale process.
- Todo List: Todos don't need to have just two statuses: Done or Not done, you can make them have several like Not doing, Doing, Done, Approved, Rejected, etc. That will make your to-do list a project management tool with stages.

Each of your projects must have:
- Live link
- Readme description with screenshots.
- Organized code.
