Where should I start?

I recently started getting into programming after years of wanting to but being intimidated by the sight of code. I started with Kotlin because I was taking a mobile development course (it was a free course offered by the city I live in ... I had to quit because of personal reasons.

Even though the first days of it were hell because I had no prior knowledge, I started liking it and even got the hang of the basic coding concepts and syntax (I struggle with the last one since I forget to close code blocks with a {}, for example). I also make those mistakes even in my day-to-day life, so it's more like a me issue.

I can use tutorials and resources such as w3schools (I personally find it very useful) for all the stuff I don't know or understand; that's what I've been doing until now, and it kinda works, but I would like to start doing silly little projects to practice and learn more as I do stuff but can't come up with an idea that isn't boring or way too complicated (would a web app be a good option?). I want something where I get to add visual elements.

What do you recommend I do?
