A lovely JavaScript contest

February 2, 2012 · by Espen André Øverdahl

The object of this competition is to create a cool JavaScript "application" no larger than 1k. Starting out as a joke, the first version ended with a serious amount of submissions, prizes and quality.

1k means 1024 bytes. That's really small. If you're a developer and want to join, then we suggest you check out js1k.com - we're sponsoring the event, so you know it's good. :smile: Deadline is Wednesday 14th of March 2012! Good luck to every developer that joins the competition!
