you mean todo app?
Companies know people are self taught but they prefer commercial experience. They prefer that you learnt from working on the job and not through self learning or pleasure. Because you are able to meet deadlines. Start by freelancing or volunteer. Also do you have api experience like graphql and rest, can you do webpack and microservices. Do you have agile sw experience, do you have aws or azure experience? Do you postgre experience, can you use docker or kubernetes containers?

Most time, the aforementioned are the real experience needed. knowing a programming language and building websites with it is not just enough.

Docker, Kubernates, AWS and the other DevOps tools you mentioned are not necessities for frontend devs
