Inspiration

In the age of the Internet, memes have become a cultural phenomenon that impact and influence every aspect of our society. The meme has become the language of the millennial, and the easiest way to relate and communicate with young people. They're a source of comic relief and brutal honesty for a generation plagued by disparity and distrust. As millennials ourselves, we understand that the amount of memes circulating the Internet can often be overwhelming and difficult to keep up with. Some even strive in desperation to know every meme. We can only imagine the strife that clueless parents deal with when their children start talking about random Internet trends as well. Meme Dictionary is designed to help.

What it does

Meme Dictionary is a website currently designed to provide information about memes and catalog popular Internet memes for people to view online. By creating a database of popular memes, it will be easier for parents to understand what the f**k their kids are talking about all the time, and also for meme savvy young people to stay on trend and up to date with the latest memes.

How we built it

We used HTML and CSS to create the Meme DIctionary website.

Challenges we ran into

Embedding audio and video files within the website's homepage.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Adding a star ranking system to rank how dank each meme in the dictionary is.

What we learned

As beginners to web development, we learned a lot about basic HTML and CSS in general. The project was a wonderful way to introduce us to web development while addressing an issue we are passionate about.

What's next for Meme Dictionary

  1. Expand the collection of memes included in the dictionary. There are just so many memes.
  2. Create links for each individual meme with more examples of the meme in use and the popularity of the meme over time using Google Trends web search counter. By doing so we also hope to show trending memes on the homepage of the site.
  3. Make the website interactive so that users can submit examples of memes, rank existing memes, and discuss memes with fellow meme lovers and meme beginners.
