🚢 Our learn along ship THIS FRIDAY!! 🚢

It's a fully-functional interactive site inspired by the cookies you all loved and tasted 🥠

But unlike the cookies, it is heavily commented and thoughtfully put together so you can learn modern HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as you play with it!

On sale NOW 👇🛍️

A screencap of the Fortune Cookie learn along. A white and grey circuit-board background, with a cream block in the center. Within the cream block is an image mimicking a webpage, with a yellow border, red columns on each side, and a cream background. Boba-tan, with a fortune cookie moustache, stands in the top middle. Below is a white text box with red border, saying "seek a fortune if you dare", and options for vanilla, chocolate, or lemon cookie flavors. White text with black outline reads: "Learn along as we build a fortune generator-- select a flavor, push a button, get a fortune!" Text below that outlines what is included: a centered single column layout; visual and practical interactions; pages, texts, and images where you want them, at any size, and more! Features are listed on the top right, with black text on a white text box outlined in black. Inside a black text field with white text, at the bottom right, there are more detailed features listed. These feature boxes highlight the approachable nature of the learn along, professional knowledge included, and customizable nature of the product.

An image highlighting the desirable features of the learn along. A white and grey circuit-board background, with a cream block in the center. Within the cream block is an image mimicking two webpages, with yellow borders and cream backgrounds; excerpts from the learn along are within the windows in black text. White text with a black outline reads: "step by step, concept by concept, always in your language!" Black text with a white outline, and black arrows pointing to various parts of the learn along, reads: "Learn why, not just how. Explanations in plain english, with the technical terms you need! Level up at your pace with extra challenges!" The last line has an arrow pointing to text that reads "extra credit" and suggests adding a transform effect to a button being clicked, as a cool thing people can do to advance their coding knowledge.

Modern code, practical interactivity, unique fandom flavor. Learn skills for all your projects—workday or weekend! Get the common gotchas before they get you! Write code that reacts to your users. ...ditch the boring lessons, embrace the world weird web!

Was going to stream work on the store for Friday's launch but my cat bit me as I fought to remove a waffle from her mouth, so it's off to get antibiotics instead!

And if you're curious about our progress on the store yesterday, well, let's just say any good polish up starts with a good refactoring...

But with some hyperf—I mean, dedication, extra progress was made offline. Not final, but a better showcase of our beautiful merch already!

Final Thoughts
About this Learn-along
This learn-along is made up of three heavily commented files that work together to create an interactive webpage. On this page, which features a responsive single-column layout, the user can click a button to get a randomly chosen fortune among 3 different sets.

The main files are:

learn-along.html — The structure
learn-along.css — The styling
learn-along.js — The interactivity
The code you'll find inside is complete and fully working. You can learn by following along the comments to explore, experiment, and understand how everything connects.

If you wish, you can jump around between sections and files, and tackle them in the order you prefer. Each file also contains multiple [[EXTRA CREDIT]] callouts, which are optional hands-on exercises or starting points for deeper exploration.

In addition to using them to learn along, the files are structured to serve as a reference for building or styling your own sites. The table of contents at the top of each file is provided to quickly help you find the right section for what you seek to accomplish.

Finding your Learning Path
Prophet Boba-tan may know your fannish future, but this learning journey is yours to walk. So, what brings you here?

I want to fully understand the ins and outs!
I want to build something similar
I want to level up my CSS or JS skills
I want to learn specific techniques
Actually, I'm not sure what I want...
1. I want to fully understand the ins and outs!
If you're a linear learner who likes to dive deep and build their knowledge comment by comment, we recommend you follow the basic path:

Start from HTML to understand how the page is structured
Move on to CSS and see how the page is styled
Dive into the JavaScript section and learn what happens when the button is clicked
Since the CSS and JavaScript learning paths are independent, you can also choose to tackle them in a different order or jump across as your fancy strikes. For example, you might look at how to build a responsive single-column layout, experiment with JavaScript, then move back to finish the other CSS sections!

Our advice
Read each section thoroughly, fiddle with the code, and see how the page changes.
Take breaks between sections and experiment with your own pages.
Tackle those [[EXTRA CREDITS]] that jump out to you as you learn, but feel free to leave some to do later at your leisure.
2. I want to build something similar
If you're looking to get your hands dirty (either by building your own generator site or your own CSS layouts), we recommend you:

Get the lay of the land by skimming all 3 files and finding the sections related to your project
Play around with the existing code in the relevant sections to understand how it works and what to "lift"
Build your own site from scratch, using this learn-along as a reference
Our advice

Fandom Fortune Generator — Prophet Boba-tan's Learn-along
Note: For the best reading experience, use a markdown viewer or open README.html (inside _README_html/) in your browser. If reading this file in a plain text editor, you may see some unusual characters—this is normal for markdown files!

Thank you for purchasing the Fandom Cookies Digital Pack! This folder contains an exclusive reward: a "random generator" website inspired by our April 1st 2025 "Fandom Cookies" event, featuring heavily commented code that will teach you many useful not-so-basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript!

What you'll learn
In this learn-along, you'll explore all the nitty-gritty details of how we built this website, from creating single-column layouts using modern CSS to making pages that respond to user input, both with visual effects and interactive functionality.

By the end, you won't just have a solid foundation of professional, modern web development knowledge, but a practical reference to return to whenever you need help building the website(s) of your dreams.

What you'll find
In this folder
This folder includes a few (optional) files to help you through your learning journey:

README.md — this file, with high level guidance
LEARNING_GUIDE.md — in-depth guidance and suggestions on how to approach this tutorial
CONTENT_WARNINGS.md — in-depth guidance on content warnings for each cookie flavor
If you wish to read these files with proper formatting directly in your browser, you'll find a .html version of each inside the _README_html/ folder.

In the code/ folder
Inside the code/ folder, you'll find the main content of our learn-along:

learn-along.html — sets up the HTML structure
learn-along.css — styles the page with CSS
learn-along.js — selects and displays a random fortune with JavaScript
reset.css — A CSS reset for consistent styling across browsers
images/ — Our adorable Prophet Boba-tan art
...and some extra files to aid you in your learning mission journey:

_with_short_comments/: this folder contains a version of the HTML/CSS/JS files with shortened comments, which only include the table of contents and the more technical explanations. Check it out for a "bird's-eye view"!
_with_syntax_highlight/: this folder contains one HTML page for each file in the learn-along, and renders its code with proper syntax highlighting. If you don't have a code editor with this feature, it's a great tool to make the code easier to read—especially on the go!

Big JavaScript doesn't want you to know this One Weird Trick™

A CSS snipped that rotates a right-facing chevron icon 90 degrees when aria-expanded is set to true on a parent disclosure button. The icon is targeted via a data-icon attribute. The disclosure uses a class called `.disclosure-button`, combined with an attribute selector for `[aria-expanded="true"]`.
