I agree with you that building the thing you want is the best way to learn.

However, for an "opinionated" framework like Rails, it's really best if you read through the official (brief, and IMHO excellent) guides so you can get a feel for the basic opinions baked into Rails.

https://guides.rubyonrails.org/

Otherwise you're going to be fighting the conventions the entire way.
