Koding's instructions for writing ABOUT.md tell you to make it emotional and impressive. I find it more important to make it honest. I'm Frederik Creemers, a Belgian web geek. I'm visually impaired. My optic nerves never fully developed, so glasses don't help.
|
|
Because of my impairment, I've always needed the help of technology. In high school, at a point where I was supposed to be doing homework, I started toying around in powerpoint. I found out a feature that allowed you to go to a different slide when the mouse hovered
|
|
over a certain element of the current slide. This gave me the great idea to create mouse mazes, where you had to get your cursor from start to finish without touchhing a wall. This got me more interested in how games were created, and so I downloaded GameMaker, a tool by YoYoGames,
|
|
that allows you to create games without programming. It does include a language called GML (game maker language), which was my introduction to programming. At school, we learned how to make a website, which introdduced me to the wonders of the web as a platform, and that's what got me to where I currently am.

The reason I'm entering this hackathon, is because I sometimes need a little push to release something. I've got a lot of projects in my 'dev' directory that are hafway there to being something I could release to the world. I'm hoping that this hackathon will push me to create something that I can be proud of.

About your skills and what you are going to do?
|
|
=======
|
|
I'm creating an app that allows people without any coding experience to create their own web application.
|
|
Some of the things I'll probably use:
|
|
|
|
- blockly
|
|
- github's api
|
|
- Google App Engine
|
|
- Any other APi I can build in in time that can enhance the applications that users build.
|
|
|
|
I might change my mind, and build applications using firebase instead of App Engine.
