This contest is intended as a learning experience, and I will respect any requests by Twitch staff to remove this project.

What have I learned?

  • manipulating the DOM using pure JavaScript (without jQuery)
  • other vanilla JS funcionalities (especially events)
  • making better use of tabindex attribute
  • improving css transitions performance (see article in credits)
  • using clip-rect() CSS property
  • using some techniques related to SVG in Illustrator

Why are you describing your project? You wanna win, huh?

Not really, I think the purpose of this contest is to learn something new (maybe someone will learn something from my landing page). Secondly, I'm learning English, so more I use it - more I learn. I know it's bad :D
