Dynamic Calendar-based Site Elements and Themes Spike

Problem Statement

We want to dynamically add site elements and apply themes based on the calendar date, for example, adding background snowfall in winter.

Goal

Our goal is to learn how to dynamically add site elements and apply themes based on the calendar date, and use this knowledge to improve user engagement on our website.

Hypothesis

We can use front-end Node packages and JavaScript and CSS to add site elements and apply themes based on the calendar date.

Questions

• What are some front-end Node packages that can help with dynamically adding site elements and applying themes?
• How do we use these front-end Node packages with JavaScript and CSS to add site elements and apply themes based on the calendar date?

Research Tasks

• Research front-end Node packages, such as Moment.js and React, to learn how they can help with dynamically adding site elements and applying themes.
• Experiment with using front-end Node packages, JavaScript and CSS to dynamically add site elements and apply themes based on the calendar date.

Results and Conclusion
