first sketch

Simple structure

Using display: flex

Shrinking the browser window randomly removes words from the sentence, one by one, in correspondence with the reduced pixel count.
Expanding the window brings words back, also randomly, reconstructing the sentence into a new structure each time.

How I want to develop it

I'm envisioning a kind of storybook that users can save the screens they like in the browser. once they're done, they can export them as a multi-paged pdf file containing all the screens they've saved in the browser. even print them out in the end.
Inspired by The House of Dust by Alison Knowles, ~~I imagined adding random words as the browser window extends, rather than simply re-aligning previous words in the sentence as I did on my initial sketch.~~

Word-corresponding background illustration

Storybook in pdf

A button(or a key) that allows users to save the current state of the browser window --not to the local computer, but within the browser itself.
Another button/key would then enable users to export these saved states as a PDF file, allowing them to print out each saved version of the browser window in chronological order.

To do

Code to work 1

▲workflow
I made the first sketch by using an ai chatbot but I want to write the code without it from the beginning.

Code to work 2

▲with help from Doriane and Joseph
try with the simplest approach to structure html/java script, and richer iterations in CSS

For CSS drawing, following analysis is needed:

identify the basic structure and elements of the sentence
define the possible permutational variables

↳ structure these permutational variables in a way that CSS can correspond

↳ ~~plus, I’d like to try incorporating the theatre metaphor from ‘Why CSS is so weird’ into the work:~~

~~regarding the browser window as a stage and apply the sentence analysis and structure accordingly.~~

Permutational variables

▲ a long list of css selectors just using next sibling combinators, assigning them with lexical significance so that css can interpret and reflect these meaning somehow.

CSS 1

Word combination algorithm

look for Permutation function

recommended by Joseph

try html2canvas for taking screenshot of the browser
look for javascript: Window: localStorage property for storage. (this one stores locally, but try it anyway)

-In our last Monday class discussion([[User:Zuhui/SI26/Weekly log#WEEK 2 |SI26 WEEK2]]) on <code style="font-size: 13px;>display: flex</code>, we talked about its adaptability and how its mechanism resembles other design practices --like curtains or even a peacock’s majestic display.
-Building on this, I started thinking about the game of '''[[User:Zuhui//Glossary#Peekaboo| Peekaboo]]'''.
-: As the face disappears and reappears, its expression constantly shifts(🙂→🤪→🤨→😆→🙄).
-:: Similarly in my initial sketch of <code style="font-size: 13px;>display:flex</code>, the alignment of words in the sentence shifts as it disappears and reappears.
-::: Expanding and shrinking the browser window can reveal, hide, reorder information, and creating compositions that change dynamically.

-I want to try this exercise with a first sentence of question that I derived from a children’s book called ''The Story of Little Black Sambo'' published in UK 1899. Until not long ago, this book was quite popular in some countries like Korea and Japan and can still be found on bookshelves today. But for those familiar with it, it’s notoriously known for being blatantly racist due to its illustrations, its moronic backdrop, and the name of its characters.
-Keeping this in mind, I find a kind of meta-ironic profundity in the story, completely independent of the author’s intention.
