Whatiscode

This repository contains "What Is Code?", a long-form magazine-style article that explains to non-technical readers what code, programmers, and software are and how they shape everyday life and modern business. It is published as a single continuous scrolling web page written in plain language, with the aim of helping a general audience follow conversations about technology.

The article is more than static text. Embedded images, media, and browser scripts drive animated graphics that update as the reader scrolls, giving the essay an interactive feature-journalism format. All assets, including images, media, scripts, and styles, are bundled with the text so the piece loads together.

The finished article is delivered as plain pre-built files that open in any browser, with no server logic or database behind it. The content is managed in a version-controlled history, and readers are invited to report issues or suggest text fixes through pull requests, which an editor reviews before merging and publishing.
