I am currently reading Capital Vol 1 and I am thinking of starting a project on a React.js web app that explains the concepts in Capital. I think this will help me solidify what I am reading along with making a helpful tool for one to easily learn some of the concepts in Capital.
Are there any suggestions or examples in terms of how I should design the front-end UI of the web application?
Edit: Not sure how feasible this is - I’d like to break up the concepts into smaller chunks, so it’s not just a wall of text. I’m not sure yet how I’d design it so that would not be too cumbersome.
embrace web 1.0 comrade. Embrace the marxists.org ethos.
:marx-guns-blazing: :lenin-da: :animengels:
Ancient website aesthetics ftw
:stalin-pipe:
Anarcho prim but only thinks we should go back to web 1.0 :anprim-pat:
Still stan marxists.org but don't make your website look dated on purpose
how about we compromise, you're allowed 1kb of CSS instead of zero.
javascript is bourgeois decadence, you should take inspiration from marxists.org since that's peak web design
Could try to gamify it like by giving badges to users. You could make quizzes which is a great way to for you to think about the important Qs as and try to stamp out misconceptions early. Pass the quiz get a badge. Altho I think there are studies that show gamification is only beneficial to certain types of ppl
Might work if you have self control. When I did Duolingo I was more focused on getting points and not ruining my streak than learning anything
With real-world, easy-to-understand examples. "Producing a sandwich" is a great one.
Gut reaction: This is too ambitious for a hobby project. Cut the scope!
That said, I love the approach https://www.executeprogram.com/ takes. Narrow topics, high interaction, spaced repetition. Helps me lock in concepts in a way reading doesn’t.
