LoveBits is a small experience meant to make coding languages more appealing to non-developers by writing JavaScript code poems.
🏅LoveBits won the Hack of the Month award at Berlin Hack and Tell #73 in July 2019.
There are a lot of misconceptions about coding. People get intimitated, and don't know where to start because they don't treat it like a human language.
Main ideas are:
- Overcoming the coding language barrier by combining code with something "that you can do with human languages" (like poems) to create a different approach to coding
- Putting the message of code before the basics of coding
You can read more about it on the article I wrote for the Smashing Magazine.
This is my first open-source project.
Please create a fork and create Pull Requests for new poems, improvements, and more. If you have any questions or need feedback to create a new poem, just let me know.
Here are some topics you can help with, if you want to:
- New poems
- Responsiveness (This is somewhat big, because of static numbers in poems. Needs some effort.)
- Tests?
Fork and clone the project.
npm install
npm start
After you did your changes, create a Pull Request. Once the code is merged, it will automatically be deployed via Netlify.
- React (for the UI)
- Paper.js (for the interactive parts of each poem)
