Remixable Quilts for the Web
Posted: December 18, 2014 Filed under: mozilla | Tags: mozilla, quilting, webdev, webmaker 1 CommentAtul Varma set up a quilt for MozCamp Asia 2012 which I thought was a fantastic tool for that type of event. It provided an engaging visualization, was collaboratively created, and allowed a quick and easy way to dive further into the details about the participating groups.
I wanted to use it for a couple of projects, but the code was tied pretty closely to that specific content and layout.
This week I finally got around to moving the code over to Mozilla Webmaker, so it could be easily copied and remixed. I made a couple of changes:
- Update font to Open Sans
- Make it easy and clear how to re-theme the colors
- Allow arbitrary content in squares
The JS code is still a bit too complex for what’s needed, but it works on Webmaker now!

Nice! It’s good to see another remix of the quilt idea popping up into the wild 😀
There are a few tweaks I’d make to simplify the code down a little bit to make it easier for learners (though you can expect a pull request from me for those 😉
I actually did a little bit of work on the quilt idea myself a few months back, if you’re interested in any of the ideas behind that version (works a in different way to yours) I’d be interested in getting some feedback from you. https://github.com/fuzzyfox/supportopen
