Also you're 100% correct about the D3 data structures thing. The reason I did it was I fear as a self taught guy people will have certain assumptions about me. And about the working for free, I agree that it opens me up for exploitation. But id rather be exploited and have a company profit off me if it means I can start working. Spending hours writing out cover letters to only get ignored completely destroys my self confidence. Anyways my email is MKwenhua101@gmail.com

oh the only copy and pasted code is $('#video1')[0].contentWindow.postMessage('{"event":"command","func":"' + 'stopVideo' + '","args":""}', '*'); which is a command to tell a youtube iFrame to stop playing the video. Also generally I mix vanilla JS and jQuery a lot since I read that vanilla JS is faster, but when it comes to finding a certain element in a div I use jQuery.
