Sup anon,

I'm from the same area and work in the same niche.

If you have passable React skills and any past experience, you should be employable now.

I wouldn't bother with the todo app. It's too generic on a resume to gauge anything relevant (since more tutorials are copy/paste and don't show any major problem solving).

Just start applying on Seek. There are tons of short term gigs that will take anyone. That's a great place to start.

Portfolios (i.e deployed personal projects) are huge here. This differs a lot from SV where they seem to have less bearing to get you in the door. The main point of note is that the projects need to be unique in some way.

Thanks. I'll finish off the apps but just put in for short contracts as you say. The "years of experience" thing is putting me off though.

The apps I'm building aren't from tutorials. They are solving my problems and those around me.
