So I entered a competition, one based around new web technologies. The catch is that the app (including all code & images) have to be under 10kb. You can view the competition site here:
10k ApartI submitted an app that I had already partially created for myself, but decided to finish it and add some cool things to it. What my app dies is easily allow web developers to create and save HTML forms through a simple GUI. You also have the option to create some simple form validation code, in jQuery or PHP, through the GUI. Finally, you have the option to save the form markup with HTML5 localStorage, so no need for databases!Sadly, the highest rated submissions are lackluster games and stupid to-do lists. Anyway, here is my submission. Rate it what you want, because I don't see myself getting near the top in time. I'd like some criticism more at this point, so leave a comment on your thoughts. I'm very proud of this project though, because it pushed my skills and taught me even more.formBuild - Click "launch app" on the right to get it to workSchoolI begin my senior year at college next week, and I couldn't be more excited. I have so many ideas I want to work on and of course I always want to learn more. Also, this year I'm the head of MSCEI, an entrepreneur program designed to get students used to the real world of business. I contact businesses who need websites or programs made and I give the projects to students to complete. We all make $10 an hour so it's sweet.That's all for now!
That was a really neat app you got there, even more impressive was that it's under 10kb. Amazing. It could come in real handy, considering HTML forms are just annoying to make.
My only suggestion would be to be able to edit saved forms again and not just display the code. I'm not sure if that's possible with the 10kb limitation, so it's just an idea. Still, amazing job.Thanks! I'm actually improving it right now. I'm adding the ability to delete and edit saved forms like you suggested. It won't be under 10kb, but I'll be posting it on my own site so it doesn't matter.
I agree, cool app. And I don't see any need to save it, just copy and paste it to a .txt file for keeps.
Mhmm, you could do that. But I added saving so I could use HTML5 stuff. Besides, it doesn't save it permanently. It's saved with your browser's cookies, or something related, so once you clear everything in your browser, your forms are gone.
I noticed you had entered actually. I want too, but got no good ideas. Have you seen the http://js1k.com competition?
Yeah I have noticed that. I couldn't think of anything under 1kb that was cool/useful. I'm pretty disappointed by everything in there though, nothing is interesting to me.
Both the contests seem biased to me anyway.
