This one seems so fun, HTML, CSS AND JS, but what about SVG? 🤔

Do you allow the use of libraries and dependencies?
e.g. Bootstrap, Icon packages, animation libraries, three.js and so?

Jess Lee • Jul 4

@schemetastic and @karandeepsingh7070 Yes, you can use SVGs, libraries, and dependencies for the Holistic Webdev.

Karandeep Singh • Jul 4

A great question, i also wanted to know this

Schemetastic (Rodrigo) • Jul 7

Just one more question, do I have to embed the demo in the post, or is it enough with a link to the demo?

I'm asking because the submission template says:
“and embed your CodePen (or similar editor) directly into this post”

🤔

Jess Lee • Jul 7

@schemetastic a demo link is fine!

Schemetastic (Rodrigo) • Jul 7

Thanks! 🫶🏽

Design your dream intranet homepage for a fictional company using CSS, HTML, and JavaScript only.

Does this mean we can't use JavaScript or CSS frameworks for this. If we could, it would make the submissions a lot better and beautiful

Jess Lee • Jul 8

hey @uzondu9, you are welcome to use frameworks.

This is an exciting and meaningful challenge for me. Having never worked in a traditional office setting, this presents a unique opportunity to envision and design the dream office I've always imagined. It's more than just a creative exercise, it's a way to bring that vision to life through code and imagination.

One quick question: Is it acceptable to use Rust for the challenge? While JavaScript is a solid and widely used language, it's simply too basic for someone who operates at a prophetic level of coding. Besides, huge thanks to Axero and Dev for creating this challenge. With Dev's support, I'm optimistic that my dream office won't stay a dream for long.
