Hey everyone!
Recently I've decided to give myself a Code Challenge every month (for the remainder of 2023) to stretch my skills and have a bit of fun. This February, I'll be making 28 websites for my first challenge! 🤯
I'm a little apprehensive (okay, actually more than a little) since I don't usually code seven days a week, which means I may have to double up on some days to fully complete this challenge.
Here are a few ideas I have of simple websites I could make for this challenge:
- websites for people
- revamping UI for "ugly" websites
- landing pages selling nonexistent products
- fanpages?
- ...
(Due to time constraints, these websites will be relatively simple, with perhaps only 1-3 pages.)
I'll be updating my progress on this post periodically as I work through the challenge. Wish me luck!
Cheers,
Catherine

Day 4: Favorite Quotes Website
Tools: Astro, TailwindCSS, Pocketbase
For Day 4 of this challenge, I built a quick website of my favorite quotes (with a theme inspired by Tumblr). I self-hosted Pocketbase for my backend and deployed my frontend with Vercel.
Day 3: Spy School Website
Tools: Astro, TailwindCSS
I've always wanted to become a secret agent, so I created a simple landing page for an imaginary spy school. =)
This is one project I'd love to continue in the future though, especially since I see so much potential for teaching important lessons through this kind of theme.
Day 2: Embassy University (UI Revamps)
Tools: Astro, TailwindCSS
Today I finally got to revamp an old website I’ve been eyeing for sometime: Embassy University! I know I could’ve done a better job with the UI, but at least it looks better than the original. 😅
(Disclaimer: I am not in any way affiliated with this site, nor does me making a different version of their homepage indicate my endorsement of their beliefs and values. 🙃)
Day 1: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (PD Books)
Tools: Astro, ReactJS, Pocketbase, TailwindCSS
This first site is a website with custom annotations to bring public domain books to life! I was only able to get the preface of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer complete, but you can bet I’ll return to this project later to add more chapters.
Deciding how I wanted to display annotations was the most difficult part, but after I completed that, I finished the project quickly.
