I'm a beginner with zero coding background, but I've always wanted to build useful tools for the web. Recently, I discovered a workflow that allowed me to build and deploy 17 pure HTML tools in just a few weeks.</p> <p><strong>Here is my stack:</strong></p> <ol> <li> <strong>AI for Code</strong>: I use DeepSeek and Claude to generate pure HTML/CSS/JS.</li> <li> <strong>Hosting</strong>: I upload the files to Cloudflare Workers (completely free).</li> <li> <strong>Domain</strong>: I bought my own domain and bind subdomains to each tool.</li> </ol> <p><strong>The hardest part:</strong><br> The biggest challenge isn't writing the code; it's getting organic traffic. I've submitted my sites to Bing and added internal links, but SEO takes time. I've also integrated Adsterra to monetize the traffic.</p> <p><strong>My Tools:</strong><br> I built everything from a <strong>Labrador Age Calculator</strong> to an <strong>Image Color Palette Extractor</strong> that exports CSS variables.</p> <p>If you want to check them out, here is my main hub: <strong><a href="https://app.lihayo.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://app.lihayo.com</a></strong></p> <p>I would love to hear your feedback on the UI or any tips on getting the first 100 visitors! Thanks!</p> webdev ai beginners opensource
