html width 100% height 100% overflow: hidden

Please don't do this. I would love to try it, but it's unusable on phone even on desktop mode.


Considering it was made in less than 7 hours with no access to the internet, I'd excuse hacks.

Edit: Especially since it's called out as a constraint:

> Don’t worry about production quality, just re-create as much of the look and feel of the UI as quickly as possible. No accessibility, responsive design, localization, etc; you just want something you can run through a user test.


Maybe should have spent less time to not have time to write overflow hidden then.


I mean they did it so they didn’t have to deal with a whole class of problems (making it look and work well on a phone).

For a 7-hour hackathon that seems entirely reasonable.


Realistic constraints too, since the original UI was designed to work with specific devices at specific screen sizes, not as responsive.


For a very _very_ amateur web developer, why would you not want to design a webpage like this? What difficulties would you run into if you designed a web-app in this way?


Is what you are measuring actually meaningful?

Also you dont need to write them out, you can still calculate it in your head "manually".

I think second student may have easier time to apply knowledge on things like 4 * 2,75.


to avoid hacking


I wouldn't. One of the main asmr triggers is watching someone focus and work on something.
