This is a submission for the 2026 WeCoded Challenge: Frontend Art

## Show us your Art

For this challenge, I created Code Allies, an interactive web experience that explores the journey toward gender equity in technology.

Instead of static art, I wanted to build something interactive and symbolic, where users can engage with the story.

🔗 Live Project:

The experience includes:

🕰️ An interactive timeline highlighting moments in the journey toward equity in tech
🔨 A Glass Ceiling interaction where users can break symbolic barriers
🌐 A generative network where visitors can add their voice to the future of tech
💬 Community interaction through feedback and participation

The idea is simple: art can also be interactive code.

Inspiration

When I think about gender equity in tech, the phrase “breaking the glass ceiling” immediately comes to mind.

I wanted to represent this visually through code.

The project symbolizes:

the barriers that exist
the progress that has been made
and the** collective voices pushing for change**

One of my favorite parts of the project is the glass ceiling interaction, where users can repeatedly tap the glass until it finally breaks — representing the persistence needed to overcome systemic barriers.

Another key idea is the network of voices, where visitors can add a node to the visualization, symbolizing people supporting a more inclusive tech future.

As a developer, I built this project as** an ally supporting equity in technology,** using creative frontend development to tell a meaningful story.

My Code

This project was built using modern frontend tools including:

HTML
CSS
JavaScript
interactive animations
generative visual elements

It was developed using Lovable to rapidly prototype and build the experience.
