I recently started an internship at a web design company as a back-end developer. For some reason around early Autumn there's a massive lull in client work. As such I don't have any projects to work on and I'm left to my own devices. Apart from doing QA on some client work that's nearing completion I effectively have 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to do as I please. I've played around with a few websites that my bosses have requested (namely a work blog that I can't show you due to secretzzz).
What I've got so far
I'm sure you're all familiar with Dota 2 Alt-Tab. It does what it says on the tin; serves as an alt-tab guide for a hero you've probably random'd. It's nice but I don't think I'm alone when I say it's lacking. A lot of it is superfluous with the advent of in game guides. The skill progression and the item build, namely. It also lacks tooltips for items and abilities.
I don't want to make an alt-tab guide, as such. I want to create a reasonably in-depth guide where someone can look at it in their spare time and get a good grasp of the hero while picking up a few tips and possibly submitting their own. Can you guys think of any other functionality you'd like that would actually make you use this site on a regular basis?
How I'm building it
I'm going to build it using HTML, CSS & JS (a minimal amount) with Django serving as the back-end and as a CMS. I'll host static images on my Amazon S3 and I'll host the site on Heroku for the mean time at least.
I'm more than happy if someone wants to pick up on helping me with this, either by writing guides or the design and development thing. Even just ideas for what you'd like to see.
