πŸ–₯️ Zoom Call Matrix – A Light-to-Dark CSS Intranet Surprise

Frontend Challenge CSS Art Submission

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge: Office Edition sponsored by Axero, Holistic Webdev: Office Space

What I Built

For this challenge, I recreated a familiar remote work scene β€” the classic Zoom video call matrix β€” using only HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript.

But I didn’t stop at layout.

I made the monitor itself interactive:

πŸ’‘ Double-clicking the screen toggles dark mode β€” like dimming the lights in a real meeting room.

This isn’t just a CSS layout. It’s a micro-moment for workplace UI β€” familiar, fun, and frictionless.

✨ What It Does

  • 🎨 CSS Grid layout with 4 avatar placeholders
  • πŸ–₯️ Monitor, stand, and base built from scratch with divs
  • πŸŒ— Dark mode switch triggered by double-click (or Enter key)
  • β™Ώ Keyboard navigable + screen reader friendly
  • πŸ“± Responsive and zero dependencies

Journey

The goal wasn’t just to draw boxes β€” it was to build a component that feels alive.

So instead of a toggle button, I let users interact with the thing they’re looking at: the monitor.

It was a solo project
