IdeaSpark is a tool that helps developers spark their next big project idea. Whether you're looking for inspiration or just a fun way to generate ideas, IdeaSpark creates random words (or combinations) to kickstart your creativity.
As a developer, I struggle with coming up with new and, often times, good project ideas. Over 3+ years of coding, these experiences taught me a lot.
I’ve broken down everything I learned for coming up with good project ideas into 3 simple plans: A, B, and C. You can watch the first 2 in this video, and the C plan (pure randomness) is this project.
-
Single Mode: Generate one random idea from the dictionary.
-
Combo Mode: Generate two unique ideas, forming an interesting project idea.
-
Keyboard Shortcuts: Use the
leftandrightarrow keys to switch between modes. PressGto generate a new idea.
The reason I didn't use
Spacebarfor generating new ideas is because it also got triggered when toggle switch (button) was selected. Since buttons can be triggered with bothSpacebarandEnter, I didn't want to replacebuttonwithdivas it would cause inaccessibility issues as well as didn't want to overcomplicate the code. The only quick solution I could think of was to attach it toGand call it a day. :)
If you want to contribute to this project, feel free to do so. You can help expand the dictionary, fix bugs or add new features. xD
