Build a site with zero business value

What could you create if you had 30 minutes to plan and 4 hours to build? Jacky Zhao, Henry Desroches, Parker Landon, Ludo Federici, Daniel Roe, and Salma Alam-Naylor take on the Web Dev Challenge to find out.

The Challenge

We spend so much of our time “generating shareholder value”. Let’s switch it up: build a site with absolutely no business value. But the experience should still keep people on the site.

You may have noticed that this challenge is pretty open-ended. And that’s intentional. Do we mean “an experience so fun/engaging that people can’t look away”? Or “put together the darkest dark patterns like a web supervillain”?

No wrong answers as long as we’re having fun!

The Tool: Nordcraft

Your app must use Nordcraft as part of the build.

The team at Nordcraft have built a visual web framework. Their core belief is that developers should have more intuitive, visual tools that help them author code — not abstract it away.
