Welcome to Horizons Marketplace! Horizons Marketplace is an open source digital art marketplace in which users can buy, sell, and explore digital art. Horizons was created with the intent of expanding on my love for art and creativity and blending such with technology and web developement. It is meant to also be a fun and more serious project for me as it is my very first full scale programming project. I wanted to create a website where I can sharemy love for art in a visual and technical way. However I know many people are just like me, and I ventured forth to create a community and website in which I can showcase that same love for art to others. Digital art(not necessarily just NFTs) is a beautiful and expansive space that contains so much opportunity and space for creation and exploration, and with the industry constantly growing, I thought why not try to put my foot in the space in some way shape or form.
In terms of layout, I use semantic HTML5 to create accessible and more easy to understand code. I have all my html pages(including index.html) in my html folder.
In terms of styling, I use sass and scss. My scss structure follows a partial(s) and main.scss structure. Every partial contains a index.scss file which contains imported files, which then are imported into the main.scss file through a single entry point. My abstracts folder contains all my mixins and variables. My layout folder contains my footer and navbar. And my pages contain all my styling for individual pages across Horizons(i.e about page, contact page etc).
For JavaScript(I am in the middle of utlizing it in my website so it is not complete yet), I am using vanilla JavaScript to bring some interactivity to Horizons.
In terms of packages I am using npm and parcel. I have configured it to the latest versions. Currently using 10.8.2(npm) and 2.12.0(parcel).
This project is stil in the works. I love collaborating with others and gaining knowledge about developement as a whole, and I firmly welcome new ideas, concepts, knowledge, solutions etc. By all means, feel free to pull requests, give advice and tips, help out on some issues etc. This is a very basic readme and to many, may not be the most descriptive and complciated project but for me, this is a big deal and I am working very hard and I am loving every second of it. I am really excited and I look forward to collaborating and interacting with you guys! Thank you all so much!
