In my experience, learning web development sometimes requires tinkering with various smaller web designs. That is, sometimes you just want to build a couple of small things and try out some software tools along the way.

To recognize this, I've assembled a small catalog of (long-abandoned) websites I built in my efforts to learn web development.

This was one of the first websites I ever created using raw HTML/CSS/JS.There isn't much functionality; just a simple colored pen and eraser. At the time I built this, though, I was awed by how seemingly complex the site was.

One of the most generic and overdone projects ever. It was fun to make, though.This was right before I discovered CSS Grid, which might explain why the layout is so clunky.

This was the first app I created using the React library.I've never used this application for any actual resumes. Make of that what you will.

This was another one of the apps I made to practice React.There isn't much help on-site with how to play the game, so I'll give a brief explanation here. At the start of the game, you are given 16 random “cards”, which are uniquely identified by color and shape. The goal is to click each unique card exactly once. The tricky part is that each time you click a unique card, the positions of all the cards will randomly swap. If you mess up, the game resets with a new set of cards.

I created this to practice client-side routing with React. I used a HashRouter since there was no server backing up all of the different url endpoints. Everything is handled entirely client-side.No, the payment option does not work.
