Inspiration
I'm teaching myself web development from mostly free web resources. Global Hack Week is a monthly event for learning and networking with other future web developers, and it gives people like me a place to interact with a community of similar interests. There are many links and web destinations that go into keeping track of the goings on of GHW. I built this partially out of necessity, partially to practice my HTML and CSS, and it would be wonderful if anybody else found it useful. I use GitHub copilot to help. I don't care much for the auto-complete, but I love asking the assistant questions.
What it does
It's a GHW companion really. It provides all of the main links at your fingertips. It also provides fast access to the recorded streams, organized in an easier to follow format.
How we built it
Using HTML and CSS. I'm currently focused on studying layout using position rules, grid, and flexbox.
Challenges I ran into
I haven't practiced grids much yet. Changing a layout after I made it and filled it, gets confusing and feels like building a house of cards. Sometimes it falls down with a small change.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I drew the background using JavaScript on a canvas and math concepts. It's not perfect, but it's close.
What we learned
layout using positioning and grid
