This is awesome. There are too many tutorials out there that don’t show how to fit all the pieces together. They’re more of the “learn functions, and solve math problems in a REPL environment.”

To that end, is there a platform that regularly provides updated/crowd sourced tutorials that are more software engineering based? For example, these tutorials can be taken to the next logical level and shown various ways to host these applications, and using SQL to manage user databases...etc.

Some game dev tutorials walk through full simple games.

They are called books.

This seems dismissive. Books are great, but they're usually put together by a single, knowledgeable author, rarely demonstrate how to construct a full-stack application, and definitely don't lend themselves to consistently staying up-to-date. Something like the RealWorld repo [0], which shows how to put together something in a variety of different languages and styles, is better for this.
