Atul Varma set up a quilt for MozCamp Asia 2012 which I thought was a fantastic tool for that type of event. It provided an engaging visualization, was collaboratively created, and allowed a quick and easy way to dive further into the details about the participating groups.
I wanted to use it for a couple of projects, but the code was tied pretty closely to that specific content and layout.
This week I finally got around to moving the code over to Mozilla Webmaker, so it could be easily copied and remixed. I made a couple of changes:
- Update font to Open Sans
- Make it easy and clear how to re-theme the colors
- Allow arbitrary content in squares The JS code is still a bit too complex for what's needed, but it works on Webmaker now!
