Up for a Fireworks challenge? 🎆

[Brian_Klein]

Many know that it’s U.S. Independence Day next week (as a side note: Coda will be closed that day), and with that comes fireworks.

That got me thinking: is it possible to create fireworks in Coda in some way? I can see a couple paths, but I’m curious what your solutions would be.

So here’s the challenge: Create fireworks in Coda. Your solution can be static or animated. Big or small. Bold or subdued. As long as it is in line with Coda’s terms of use, it qualifies.

Share your solution in the comments by July 3rd 11:59PM PST for a chance to win one of 3 Coda swag packs! I’ll share the winners’ solutions, plus a few others on our Twitter on July 4th.

As we say in our Coda docs, happy 7th April for next week!

European date formats default option

Even worse, when syncing on cross-doc it imports the US format and you can’t change it (eg 6/2/2020 makes me think it’s the 6th Feb, not 2nd June). Please at least make ISO 8601 the default!

[Brian_Klein]

Hmm, I can’t reproduce that. I’m using the column options in the source table

[Quentin_Morel]

@Brian_Klein quite an experimental and very personnal interpretation (in 10 minutes only )
Would deserve a little more work and creativity…!

(And I voluntarily didnt start to think to svg, it’s like cheating ^^)

What if?

I’m not eligible to win, but I couldn’t help but try!

[Scott_Collier-Weir]

I wish I had more time to enter and make it fun! But its an unusually busy week

[Brian_Klein]

Really clever solutions thus far! Like @Eric_Koleda I can’t win, but here’s my entry.

I had a very similar idea as @Mahmoud but I used a scatter plot

Things I might tweak if I have time:

• Getting the chart to cluster the points better.
• Making the animation smoother

I love the heart and then the flares falling!

[Scott_Collier-Weir]

I love all the labels of “pop” “whoosh” “splash”

Just wonderful

I was told by Twitter Coda to add my Notion alternative so dont kick me out! -

Let’s go!!! Such a fun implementation @Josh_Redd

[Brian_Klein]

This is great, Josh! I love the little smoke emojis after too – perfect. And also, welcome to the community (I’m the person behind Coda’s Twitter account)

Here’s what CODA·E imagined:

[Brian_Klein]

I would rate that CODA-E art 5-stars!

Far from perfect … But here’s another one …

Add-on: Here’s the static version
