Build a spooky app

What could you create if you had 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build? Joel Hooks, Douglas Rogers, Danny Thompson, and Jason Lengstorf took on the Web Dev Challenge to find out.

The Challenge

Build an app that’s haunted. Make it spooky, make it creepy — let’s have a little Halloween fun.

We’re going to be building apps that have a Halloween-ish theme. Your app should get into the Halloween spirit in its functionality, user experience, or design. The specifics are up to you: it can be fun or funny, like a Scooby-Doo episode; it can be scary like a horror movie; it can be something totally unexpected.

Let’s build some apps to put a few “bytes” into Fright Night!

The Tools

Apps must use the following tools in their build.
