My take on the WebOS sidequest. Not much for now but I’m working on it!
It’s also for the lock - in sidequest. Loads of sidequests.

To resolve my issue of not getting the desktop apps to work, I decided to look at the source code of other WebOS submissions to see how their apps functioned.
Turns out, the app icon logic provided in the WebOS jam may not at all work, as everyone (from what I saw) either has their own solution to this or reusing the javascript logic of opening and closing div elements. I did the latter, and everything is going smoothly. Finally!
Now to customize these apps. I’m gonna put in more than one.

My only big issue is that if I’m going to keep reusing the same logic over and over again, then a huge chunk of my JS file is going to be taken up with variables and the same addEventListeners. Does anyone know if it’s possible to make the code more compact? If you want to see what I’m talking about, go to the JS file in the repository and scroll until you see a comment saying “OPEN AND CLOSE DIV ELEMENTS.”

That’s all I have to show off… for now!

I can’t figure out how step 4 works. And I need to hand in something for lock in. This is why you don’t slouch on computer programming. I’ll figure something out tomorrow. If I’m able to.
I changed the welcome screen a slight bit.

So far, I’ve only gotten to step 3 out 5 of the tutorial. So there’s only the homepage to see. I’ll expand on what the project can do once I get the steps over with, and hopefully it becomes something real good.
