It's a common practice to code the phrase "Hello World!", to the screen the first time you use a new language or program. I've written a couple blog posts about this with a few sample languages. "Hello World" Has been used for a long time, is it time to change? That is the focus of this project.
Here's how "Hello World!" is created in a few languages.
HTML
<title>Hello World</title>
<H2>Hello World!</h2>
JavaScript
console.log("Hello World!")
C#
Console.WriteLine("Hello World"!)
Python
print ("Hello World!")
def hello():
return "Hello World!"
hello()
Well time and frameworks change, is it time to replace Hello World? What would be a suitable replacement?
What would make a dev smile to see on screen?
The classic greeting from an old mentor.

HTML
<title>Hello There</title>
<H2>Hello There!</h2>
JavaScript
console.log("Hello There!")
Python
print("Hello There!")
def hello_function():
print("Hello there!")
hello_function()
It works and adds a little humor and fun to a common activity. I plan to add "Hello There!" as I learn new languages. I have also opened the project up to first time contributors.
