Em 5h de aula, construa esse projeto e inicie na programação o mais rápido possível! ⭐️
A link-aggregator page (think Linktree) built as a 5-hour beginner exercise for Rocketseat's free intro web course. Plain HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS — no framework, no build step. The 224 stars vs 1347 forks ratio tells you exactly what this is: a homework template that students fork to personalize.
The scope is exactly right for a first project: one HTML file, one CSS file, one JS file, and a Figma design to implement. Dark/light mode toggle is included, which teaches DOM manipulation without it being overwhelming. Responsive backgrounds (mobile vs desktop assets) show students that images need to be sized for context. MIT license makes it easy to publish as your own portfolio piece.
This is course material, not a reusable tool — all the content is hardcoded for the instructor's profile, so anyone who wants their own version has to edit raw HTML. No docs, no config file, no templating; the only path to Rocketseat's actual video content is a marketing signup link in the README. Last commit was November 2023 and the course appears to have moved on, so issues and PRs are effectively unattended. If you actually want a self-hosted link page, you'd be better served by a project that has even a minimal config layer.
