👋
Yesterday I wrote about learning Svelte and Pocketbase. Today I'm sharing the first project I've completed using one of those tools!
This is an idea I've had for a long time (and took a stab at it a while back), but today I decided that it was a great opportunity to learn some Svelte with an actual tool.
It was a lot of fun!
The concept is as follows:
I'm sure you've seen the a11y abbreviation for accessibility and i18n for internationalization. At some point I saw someone using this same abbreviation format for other words and I thought it was dumb.
Using this abbreviation for the word accessibility is particularly ironic since it hurts accessibility.
So I thought I could make a simple app to generate these abbreviations and then try to decode them. Of course if you are decoding a word like a11y there is more than one potential result - so the code picks a random one.
The result can be quite funny 😁
For example:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Becomes
T1e q3k b3n f1x j3s o2r t1e l2y d1g
And then can become:
The quirk bison fax joins odor the lacy dog
