Language: HTML, CSS, javascript, Jquery.
Apis: Trivia api, Google CSE epi.
A web generative zine that tells you interesting facts, on demand!
= generative content + zine format + Gen-Z population
//I love reading zines.
I always find that zines is a very powerful tool to convey an idea/knowledge efficiently and effectively in a rather short span of time and small layout, hence, a nice medium fit for Gen-Z who would appreciate interesting stuff but have a relatively short attention span.
//I love watching trivia game tv shows too.
A trivia knowledge is generated on the screen, everytime someone clicks
//Breaking down the project
1) topic randomization, 2) data collection, 3) layout alignments, and 4) daily automation.

“GIMME MORE!”
Technically, the content for now is not strictly 100% for Gen-Z. However, the difficulty to select Gen-Z-specific content and summarize it in a Gen-Z langauge using general search, actually questions if Gen-Z even filter their daily information flow, and do they consume their actual inputs only by a slight brush on their forehead. Hence, the use of trivia database api with set questions and answers, as a good start for first getting the functionality.//Breaking down the project

This is a 1.5 week self exploration on web generative content and technology.
