Nice! Part of freeCodeCamp projects I assume?

I started to learn to code with freeCodeCamp and I see that today it is even better. It worked pretty well for me. I wish you all the luck and don't get too discouraged when you get stuck. It is normal and eventually you will figure it out.

Take the time to make the page better following feedback here (make it look good on mobile, fix typos, factual error on content). It will be worth the learning for your future.

Great choice for the tribute too!

Yes it's the first project of the responsive web design part.

I actually knew how to program before starting fCC, but never really tried web development. fCC has been great so far!

Since the creator of the site's here, just FYI that Highland Park is a suburb about 25-30 miles north of Chicago and isn't actually in Chicago.

Thanks for the correction, I will update that.

Don't forget the first sentence, too :)

"His exact motive is not known, but knowing Aaron..."

@danielpyon you knew him?

s/Profressor/Professor/

might want to run spell-check, otherwise good.

Also, technically, Aaron didn't cofound Reddit. He founded Infogami which was later merged into Reddit.

He didn't technically found it, but did a significant amount of work porting their 1.0 lisp code into python... Also he had an equal share of their parent company, I believe.

pg says he was a co-founder of reddit.

Thanks, I fixed it.

Why on codepen?
Re:Tribute to Aaron Swartz by danielpyon on Saturday February 29, 2020 @10:46PM (#22454992)
It was just the most convenient for me.

It doesn’t work on mobile at all.

Yeah, sorry about that. I made the minimum width around 1000 pixels (you can check the body selector in the CSS). I might try fixing that soon, although I'm still a beginner so I might not be able to just yet. You can probably tell that the CSS isn't very well written: there are unused variables, constants everywhere, and the animation is very hacky. This is because I made this page to mainly to practice my CSS skills.

Already mentioned it above, but practice to the point of making it look good on mobile. It will be a worthy learning experience.
