My name is ken and I make cool things for the web.

PREMISE

problem

None of them have good UI either :(

solution

build a new meme generator

open-source

free to use

scalable and cheap to produce

Who should own the memes?

The users!

users own the memes

no watermarks

no B.S.

the design so far

Scalable real-time backend (e.g., Firebase)

Single-page AngularJS app, no API backend

Use pre-existing data stores (FB, Google Drive)

Minimize cost to scale big with little funding

"Great! Sign me up!"

Slight problem

this isn't for everyone

You need to know HTML

CSS

Javascript

the DOM

Unix of course :)

and be willing to learn on the way

frontend is hard

but I still want to work with you

so if you're not ready... build a blog

pick an open-source project

get an internship

if what I'm doing is really worthwhile

the code will still be waiting for you
