Weird Web October is like Inktober. Except, you don't make a drawing every day of the month. You build a website. Each one is based off a theme for the day. Given how much I love making sites, it's right up my alley.
A bitty Test Run
The timing also works great for another project I've been working on called bitty. It's a web component that uses signals to add reactivity to pages. I designed it specifically to make it easier to functional sites and pages. Weird Web October is a perfect use case.
There's no framework our build step required. You just
load the component with <script>
then wrap your content inside it.
From there everything is done with native data-*
attributes that call out to vanilla JavaScript functions
that power whatever you want to do.
I'm still working on the docs and intro video for bitty, but there's a bunch of examples on the site showing how it works. Give it a shot if you like to tinker with things and let me know what you think.
