It’s JS Naked Day!
I’m participating in JS Naked Day with the hope of helping to promote the rule of least power
. This means that your browsing experience on this website during the 50 hours that make up JS Naked Day should be identical to one where you have disabled JavaScript in your browser.
This is an excellent exercise in making sure there is a clear separation of concerns between HTML for markup, CSS for styling, and JavaScript for interactivity. I highly recommend trying it out and participating yourself!
Piano Genie, an intelligent controller that maps 8-button input to a full 88-key piano in real time, is in some ways reminiscent of video games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero that are accessible to novice musicians, with the crucial difference that users can freely improvise on Piano Genie rather than re-enacting songs from a fixed repertoire.
