Want to give your project a cool name? A name with symbolic and profound meaning? You are in the right place!
Characterize is a database containing names that have symbolic meaning. It includes characters in history, books, legends and movies.
Search by character's name or by "qualities" (e.g. Wisdom) here: https://stanley0010.github.io/characterize/
As a developer, I have a lot side project ideas. And I always want cool names for them that mean something (not "Bronze Husky" from random project name generator). But something like Oracle(Matrix), a symbol of wisdom, and Gandalf(LOTR), the symbol of goodness.
I am no expert in history and neither do I know a lot of characters in movies and stories. But I believe many of you reading this are:) Please contribute!
This part requires the most contribution from you guys:)
Add characters that have a symbolic meaning or represents certain values. For example, good, evil, wisdom, ignorance, love and hatred.
Make it neat and easy to read. Do not include any jargons so that everyone can understand without context.
In the project directory under "src", you will find "data.json". It contains all characters' information. Take reference to the existing records' format or else the website will not work.
This is a React.js project, with the aim of not using too many packages to keep a small bundle size. This is also my first open-source project, so you can tell me how/ make it more open-source friendly. Feel free to open an issue request to add additional features.
After each modification to the code, please deploy it and check if the website rendered properly.
yarn start to run your project locally.
yarn test to run test (contribution needed for testing the website).
yarn deploy to build the project for deployment and deploy it to Github Pages.
