> realistically it has been a few solid weeks of learning since it is a side hobby that I hope will turn into my career

This is great -- people tend to quickly get good at hobby skills (as those are something they like and do voluntarily). However, a few weeks of learning is not nearly enough to get a taste for what a job there requires / involves and especially decide whether you will like what you do for a hobby as a career. I suggest two paths, pick one that you like most:

1. Pick something cool you can do as a "web app" and do it. Repeat 3-5 times. Don't worry if there are 50 existing options to do it, you are learning. But the end result should look good to you -- that is to be something you would enjoy using or showing to friends. Some examples: generate a beautiful ready-to-print PDF calendar with custom something (birthdays, vacation pics / links, etc); take a photo and make an STL file ready for 3D printing a coin (render on display, allow some options, etc.); capture and analyze OBDII data from your car; etc.

2. Find where others doing the type of development you want to do hang out (meetups, etc.); buy them beer and ask what they did, what the job market is, what skills you would need. Tell them that you did it as a hobby and wonder what the job market looks like. Many folks would gladly share wisdom or even mentor if they feel it is useful and appreciated.

Good luck and have fun!
