In part one of building a Wordle clone for fun, we got the general structure of our Svelte app in place. You can see the results of that work here.

The new job is going fine, but I miss working in javascript daily. So let's do something for fun.

"I'm hoping the inclusion of a blog will get me to work on it a bit more."

In May of 2020, I built an animated SVG logo for USA Today's Rebuilding America front, a landing place for stories about how America would rebuild as states began opening back up. The Svelte framework made it embarassingly easy.

One of the most common news graphics is a map of the U.S. displaying some metric on a state-by-state basis — number of coronavirus infections, unemployment rate, percentage of residents with college degrees, number of golf courses per capita, etc. Often, the map is interactive. Click on a state and see some details about the metric in question.

I guess I should kick off my initial blog post with "Hi, Mom!"
