A developer created a tribute landing page titled 'June 12 & The Fight to Be Heard' to commemorate Nigeria's Democracy Day on June 12th.
The project connects the 1993 election, symbolizing democratic promise, with the modern #EndSARS movement, portraying a continuous fight for justice and citizens' voices to be heard.
The landing page guides users through this narrative, highlighting hope, resistance, and the contemporary echoes of past struggles.
The project was a personal and poignant journey for the developer, aiming to tell an important story through design and code.
React and Vite were chosen for development, with Tailwind CSS for styling, focusing on the Nigerian flag's colors and Framer Motion for animations like the vertical timeline.
The developer emphasized the importance of typography in conveying tone, using different fonts for titles and dates.
Future plans include adding a 'Stories' section for user submissions related to activism and democracy and including more educational links and resources.
The project serves as a tribute to the resilience of the Nigerian spirit in the face of challenges.
