I am going to be making my first calculator. (STILL A NEWB)
This needs changes before we can consider it shipped. Review the Shipwright feedback, make updates, then ship again.
Feedback
Hey Yare,
Thanks for shipping Calculator! Sending this back for a couple of changes:
The README needs to actually explain what the project is and how to use it. At the moment it doesn’t give someone landing on the repo enough to understand or run it, please add a proper description, setup and install steps, and a rundown of the features. You can read this article to learn more! (https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/great_readme)
For any other questions, DM @alexander g or create a ticket in Slack—#ask-the-shipwrights.

Calculator
I made a calculator for the first time using mostly HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. While I do have past experience using HTML and CSS, I am not too familiar with JavaScript so defining the buttons was harder than it should have been.

After the whole incident last time I tried to redeem myself making a better calculator-like layout for my buttons and defined them . I also made the text that appeared at the top to show itself in a way that it seems as if someone is typing it in, and used the setTimeout to get rid of the letters after 20 seconds giving someone time to read it before it disappears. I at first wanted to make the numbers that appear in the display box or the intro sentences to have the same color animation as the buttons or the border of the display box but ultimately just chose to give it a text-shadow to make both pop out more. I kind of wanted to add a little bit of more interactive affects, but I may just submit it now and wait for feedback.

Soo, I have to admit that there were a few bumps. I thought that I was having trouble syncing the commits from VS Code to the GitHub Platform and spent the majority of my time trying to figure out what was wrong. It turns out that I was looking at the wrong repository for GitHub and everything was working perfectly. While it may say I spent 27 minutes coding, I spent maybe an hour debugging and going back and forth between the two platforms. : I

This is the very first time I am making a calculator so please stand by. I wanted to make one that wasn’t so bland so I used the @keyframes to make the animation for the borders of the buttons and display box. I still haven’t had the buttons defined yet in JavaScript so I will work on that tomorrow as well as some animation changes to the dialogue that is above the display box of the calculator. I don’t know what else to add to this project , but I will try to brainstorm for anything unique that I can add for now.
