⏱️ THE COUNTER TOP ✨

🧮 Project Brief — JavaScript Counter App

As part of my Full Stack Developer track at start2impact University, I was challenged to build a minimal yet fully functional web application — a digital counter — using only vanilla JavaScript.

No frameworks.

No shortcuts.

Just raw JS power. ⚙️💻 To simulate the behavior of a basic counter with real-time interactivity and dynamic DOM generation. 📲

Here’s how it works:

When the user lands on the page, the interface — created entirely via JavaScript — displays the initial counter value set to 0. Two buttons allow the user to increase ➕ or decrease ➖ the value, updating the view live with each interaction.

🔧 Technical Requirements:

The project required a clean, DOM-manipulated interface built from scratch, including:

🧱 Dynamic creation of HTML elements using JavaScript

⚡ Event listeners for user interactions

📉 Real-time updates to the counter value

🧼 Clean, modular code organization

🚫 jQuery, React, Vue, Angular or any front-end frameworks were strictly not allowed — encouraging a deeper dive into native JavaScript and core DOM APIs.

🧠 Optional features like value persistence via localStorage or UI customization were welcome — providing space for creativity and optimization.

This project strengthened my grasp of core JavaScript fundamentals and DOM manipulation, and served as a reminder that sometimes the most elegant solutions are the simplest ones. 🍏
