An application I created at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as part of the course content of a Dynamic Web 1 (JavaScript) course I was teaching. We had just migrated to online learning, and I wanted to create an application that visualized what we were all feeling. I selected images that expressed those feelings, and synched the animations with the beat of music I chose. It was a rough time, but my students for that class were really amazing. I was truly inspired by them.
