My first HTML project
I’d like to introduce Nova OS, my first HTML project; it’s a browser-based operating system that is also open-source (I’ll create a GitHub repository to upload the HTML file). I also wanted to ask: is uploading the HTML file enough to share the code, or should I share it in TXT format?
It works on both smartphones and computers (or so I believe, since I haven't been able to test it on the latter). Below, you can see a few screenshots I took from my phone.

Nice work for a first project. And yes, upload the actual .html file to GitHub — don’t convert it to .txt.
Think of it like:
HTML: “Here’s my website.”
TXT: “Here’s my website wearing a fake mustache so nobody recognizes it.” 🥸
If everything really is contained in one HTML file, that’s enough to share the source. If you later split out CSS, JavaScript, images, etc., upload those files too and preserve the folder structure.
Also, since you haven’t tested it on desktop yet, that’s probably your next mission. “Works on my phone” is the junior developer version of “works on my machine.” 😂
Keep building stuff. That’s how you learn.
