Concept:
This project, Web Historians, aims to highlight the importance of archived websites and their potential decay, by providing a solution through an interactive educational experience. It will use a combination of Trove and Wayback Machine APIs to access archived websites that are then evaluated through a HTML5 validator. Users will be able to choose websites in a category of interest to them, select a specific site to restore, fix the highlighted problems, and save the completed, restored files for the future. Users will also be able to save their progress by creating an account.

The information in our concept is the html of archived websites. The html is validated and is presented to the user as html mark-up, a list of errors, and the displayed website.
Red hat
Our concept has feelings of nostalgia and a respect for history and its preservation.

Best case scenario, we complete the app with all the 'if there's time' features, the technical requirements are challenging and we learn a lot but is not beyond our skill level. The product is useful for our target audience and provides users with a positive experience of html.

There are a lot of technical components and it will be hard to draw a line in the sand for what we deliver. There are a lot of things I would like to do with the project (like use web components) but not necessary to the delivery of the project. Worst case scenario is we don't get the minimum requirements over the line and spend too much time in getting individual elements right at the expense of the bigger picture

The initial concept is a creative way of using archived content by turning it from something static to something interactive.

The concept seems like a great way to both save historical content and provide a learning tool for students.
