Ha! You're good. I'm still in uni, so I am interviewing for internships (mainly for big tech companies right now since I had a taste at a IoT startup last year). Perhaps I am underestimating myself, but I'm in no rush. Thank you reminding me about that diagramming and xml-parsing repos. Regarding the diagramming repo, that was honestly some of worst code I've written (2000 lined React class with 15 states). It's so bad that I put a warning in the repo and haven't gone back to it since. And regarding the xml parsing repo, wow, you really looked carefully! I however added a funny warning regarding this in the readme (https://github.com/BlastWind/xml-leaf-highlighter#design-dec...). I wanted to use regex since it was just a school project. Going to add an additional warning, thanks.

BTW, why are you applying just for internships? I checked out your (non-forked) github repos and you're definitely better than I was as an intern. It's not senior engineer level, but you could definitely go for at least a junior eng position for sure. God knows we hire much worse junior FE engineers than that. Or are you interviewing for FAANG(-like) positions only? edit: small tip though, I would rename the App2.js etc. files to something else, having multiple files named the same but with a number difference says a lot about experience level. also: do not use regex for parsing XML (https://github.com/BlastWind/xml-leaf-highlighter/blob/main/...). That is also a common newbie mistake I hope this doesn't come across as patronizing, I didn't mean it so.
