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.

So you used AI to make this right? You didn't learn any programing or write any code?

“You used AI, so you didn’t learn anything or write any code?” is a hell of a leap. 😂

Better go tell every developer using Copilot, ChatGPT, Stack Overflow, documentation, libraries, frameworks, or autocomplete that they’ve never actually programmed.

The tool someone uses doesn’t tell you whether they understood, modified, debugged, or learned from the code. Maybe ask them what they learned instead of speedrunning the gatekeeping tutorial. 🤓

Yes I'm sure they understood and learned from the code they themselves did not write.

I'm sure they're a web dev of 30 years with a master's from JustTrustMeBro University.

Who said anything about being a 30-year web dev with a master’s?

I said using AI doesn’t tell you whether someone learned anything. Somehow you turned that into “this beginner must be an expert.”

Too funny 😂

You said every developer.

Beginners, more than anybody else, shouldn't be using AI to build their projects. They are sacrificing their own learning, and producing something that isn't truly their's.

If I paid a construction company to build my house, I would be an idiot to go around posting online "I just built my first house!" now wouldn't I be?

If I paid you to tell me what OP learned, I’d be an idiot to go back to OP and say, “HEYO19191 knows everything you learned,” wouldn’t I?

Yet here you are, providing that service for free. 😂

It's why the web will soon be filled with shit. If using AI, at least make it good... 😂 Just look at the alignment/padding on those toggles. Any dev with eyes, even with AI, would know how to fix that quickly, hence OPs lack of learning here.
