And there is many "firsts" I haven't had yet in the coding world of Javascript. Let's change that.

F O R - Y O U - M O R E - A D V A N C E D - D E V S

What was your first JS project, or the first thing you did in JS?
Did you attempt to work specifically in a JS framework?
With where front-end development is today, what do you believe would serve as a pragmatic, initial project for a newbie?

W H A T - I - H A V E - B E E N - T H I N K I N G

Based off of my googling, the simplest thing I can really imagine, is (1) a text editor or (2) a really basic game. (E.g. tic tac toe, rock paper scissors).

N O T - R E A D Y - F O R

I want my "first" to be really simple and basic. Just plain, vanilla Javascript. Then I can venture out into the wild. So, right off the bat, I know I am not ready to work in any specific frameworks/libraries in JS or do any extensions.

(I'm a professional photographer and graphic designer, so I think it'd be cool to do some kind of extension for an Adobe app/program -- e.g. Photoshop, Illustrator-- someday. But that might be for when I'm a "toddler dev".)
