This is a good start but you;ve missed an essential part of the process and one that usually stops new users. The electrical rules check is so important for creating PCBs. It prevents basic errors. I hope you make more videos on this topic as you have a good, clear voice and deliver the information well. Great job!

A few key suggestions
1. Make power traces (all of them in this case) as wide as possible
2. Place your LDO as close to the board edge as possible to allow for mounting of a thermal connection
3. Make paths as short as reasonable, for example the output to the terminal should go straight, not via the capacitor

NIce tutorial. I liked the simplicity of the tutorial for beginners. But, if I am not mistaken you forgot to generate "Drill files". /805 you used is a THT device.

Nice tutor. But skip the background music. Some may like it, someone, like me, finds it annoying.

Hello. Can you tell me how to choose an arbitrary orientation for my track in kicad, for me it is always at an angle of 45 degrees and I want it to be at an angle of 90 degrees, is it possible to do something so that I can change the angle of the track over time? work, for example, like in Sprint Layout when you press the space bar?
