Hey @amoeba,

Thanks for the pointers on javascript and React-JS. I've adapted your minimal example into an prototype for users to generate codemeta.json files (and integrated it into the Hugo styling of the site):

https://codemeta.github.io/create/

Main source file is added in as a shortcode, (though should probably go directly into content/create.html) . Reads a very incomplete json-schema file from static/schema.json since I thought it made sense to separate that out (technically still a js file and not a json file, guess i should fix that too).

The layout of the form does take up a lot of space, so not sure if it will ever make sense to support all possible codemeta fields. The styling is a bit subtle at the moment -- the box color bar will go from purple (the theme color) to red if you type a non-URI into url or codeRepository.

I hacked in the method to download a codemeta.json file by myself (thanks stackoverflow really, but still my first time writing javascript 🐱, so it may very well be terrible...

Also, I didn't see a way to have fields like @type and @context elements be automatically pre-populated in the output JSON but not visible in the form part. Currently it doesn't use any custom uiSchema styling, maybe there's a "hide" option?

Anyway, let me know what you think!

If I can polish this up a bit and add enough fields to actually be somewhat useful (e.g. author / contributor roles) I think this could make a nice easy entrypoint for getting started with codemeta.

thanks again for getting me rolling on this!
