I love wordle games and this seems like a fun addition! On mobile (Android, Firefox/Chrome), I can't figure out how to spin words longer than 2 letters long, it just flashes red or spins the letters immediately after I tap the second letter


Seems to work if you select the first and last letter of the word you want to spin


Yes that’s right - the instructions need tweaking, but you tap the first letter, then the last letter, and if it’s a recognised word then it rotates.


Both the "react-scroll-shadow" link on the left of the demo and the github cat link to https://github.com/zzarcon/react-circle


Oh sorry about, I copied that from a previous project I did, just published a fix for that. Thanks!


I'd recommend that you add a .gitignore line for the node_modules folder, which will reduce the size of the git project by a lot


the build for codecov didn't work when I did that.


I'm not too familiar with travis/codecov, but maybe you could add "npm install" to your .travis.yml "install" section? That way the dependencies would be downloaded before the scripts ran.


Yes I will do that thank you for mentioning


Yes, but the package.json's production dependencies [0] includes codecov [1] for CI which includes request [2] which includes another 22 dependencies. Moving that to the devDependencies should be fine since the main script doesn't require any modules.

This is exactly what I mean. Looking at the repo there are a ton of packages in `node_modules` dir for a lib that should have 0 to a handful of dependencies.

People will be more likely to use this lib if it's cleaned up a bit. I'm pretty new to using JS/npm and one of my least favorite parts of it this:

    npm install some-package
    1400 packages installed
So seeing packages that have a bunch of stuff in their node_modules gives me pause about using it, especially when it's not clear to me why it would need all those things.


Yeah, it's very easy for npm dependencies to get out of hand. What I didn't notice when I made my comment (and what you commented on) was that the node_modules dir was actually added to the git project. If that were removed (and a .gitignore line added) and the package.json dependencies were fixed then it should truly have no dependencies upon install.


Yep, it's a bit uncommon to store node_modules in git these days (since we have npm shrinkwrap). I've sent a PR, and another one to stop the message disappearing with unsupported color.

Also, the package author is 12 years old (http://talonbragg.com/). I'd say this stuff is pretty impressive.


I'm getting it too on Firefox 58.0.2: https://screenshots.firefox.com/pFhiaLCPgSyEN11k/cryptoinflu...

It's working fine for me on Chrome


Hello @danielrw7!

I’m a dev @cryptoinfluencers.io. Thanks for your including your browser & version. I’ve made some edits and it appears to be working again on Firefox 58.0.2!

If you see any more errors, please let us know! :)


Thanks! We're working on it.


I had to hard refresh but it looks good now


I do this as well (Team 4534)! I was also a founding student though we only started 5 years ago.


I just found out about a very similar command [1] that has more features.

Link isn't working for me.


DigitalOcean had DNS problems. It's fixed now.


No problem. I love your tool!


It took me a while to figure out that there was a second page with no scrollbar and a non-obvious arrow.


I saw this comment and then started looking for a link to a second page. It turns out I was able to "swipe up" on my magic mouse to scroll down to the second page.

I'd strongly recommend that the developer stop hiding the scrollbar.


Oh, there's a second page! Thanks for that.


I just made the arrow a little larger, might not be enough but it's a start. Later I would like to move to a more traditional site.


Hmm, which arrow? I don't see one.


I will try to make it more visible, thanks!


This bit is great:

  box = box.replace(/#/g, function() { 
  	i++
  	if (str[i]) { 
  		return str[i] 
  	} else { 
  		return "";
  	}
  });
It would be cool if you could select which characters (or all characters except for space) will be replaced with the data URI.


Just replace that /#/g with /[^\s]/g to replace all non-whitespace characters.


be forewarned that the reason it's asking you to use only #'s and spaces is the effect only works if the ascii image is very contrast-y. if the ascii art makes use of gradients (....:::;;;iiii@@@@) the effect won't be as obvious or work at all.


Does [^\s] match anything \S doesn't?
