Blooming WeCoded Landing Page

This is a submission for the WeCoded Challenge: Celebrate in Code

My WeCoded Landing Page

My landing page aims to celebrate diversity in tech through storytelling, combining:

Engaging Story Display - A Dynamic article grid pulls real DEV posts

Spring Aesthetic - Bloom-inspired colors/animation symbolizing growth

Interactive Celebration - Playful hover effects and impact counters

Accessible Focus - Clear hierarchy and semantic markup

Community Spirit - Historical context and value proposition cards

Goal: Create an inclusive digital space that visually delights while amplifying underrepresented voices and encouraging exploration through DEV's content ecosystem. 🌸💻✨

Demo

How I Built It

Foundation: Structured content with semantic HTML5 for accessibility

Spring Aesthetic: Crafted custom CSS with seasonal colors/animations using CSS variables

Dynamic Content: Integrated DEV API via Fetch, handling loading/error states

Interactive Elements: Implemented hover animations and counter effects with vanilla JS

Responsive Design: Used CSS Grid + media queries for all devices

Performance: Optimized images + minimized render-blocking resources

Personal Touch: Added author attribution + social links

Key Tech: HTML5, CSS3 (Grid/Animations), Vanilla JavaScript, DEV API
Development Time: ~6 hours focused on balancing aesthetics + functionality
