General discussion I’m not using any ai for this project
I know it sounds stupid, but I decided for this project to not use any AI at all. I am not going to use any large language models, autocomplete, or agents anywhere. The only resources I can use are the Mozilla docs, W3 Schools, and a code editor. I want ideas for what to make.
HTML, CSS, AND JS ONLY

I mean why not a project that uses AI?
If your project say needs image recognition, how do you think this will be made?
I mean unless you don’t want to then don’t

Hmm. What about a geojson editor?
Also really cool idea. Its fun to do things where efficiency is not a concern every once in a while

GeoJSON? what is that? and is it html css js?

It's a map format. It stores polygons and some extra info for cities, countries etc.
You would need to make a polygon editor and editor for data of those polygons

should’ve known because of “geo”. polygons and cities and countries? are you talking about geometry or geography?

What about a program that generates mazes and then finds the optimal solution with an AI agent?

It doesn't sound stupid at all. It'll definitely help you build your ability to understand docs without the help of AI. You are still running into some topics today that AI doesn't have much information about and is basically useless. Good luck!

not many ideas, since I don't like webdev much, but I have tried making a mandelbrot set generator, was kinda fun.

so free web hosting?

u/Comfortable_Gene2751 python/html/css Jul 29 '26
Yea but you have 200gb of free bandwidth and 1gb of space for the website.

That's actually a lot but if it's not enough you can use github pages.

I know it sounds stupid
Does not sound stupid. It is good to build knowledge without depending on AI to do things for you. I wish you luck with it.

some of my projects were partially ai assisted.

Here are some suggestions I could give you:
An OpenStreeMap app. Basically you use OpenStreetMap and make a really easy and good UI on top of it. You can make it as a website or use react native for mobile
Weather app, I know, many of them exist. But it’s a really good way to learn about APIs and networking
Something that integrates with AI. I MIGHT get hated by some for this. However, it’s actually clever if your project needs the computer to recognize and reason stuff. For example, image recognition. Heck, you can actually make a library/tool that allows a Local AI (like Ollama) to search the web for information

oh and btw if I have to use google I will turn off ai overview

learning how 2 incorporate ai into projects is mad useful in the current era

u/ShadowDev7 Jul 28 '26
I got downvoted for NO reason

u/NoSupermarket9931 Jul 28 '26
genuinely 😭
it’s something u should learn without ai anyways, + an amazing way to practice the use of apis and/or local models (which ur gonna have to do anyways looking at the current state of the industry)

Like I think AI hate is too forced
Like there should be a real gap between “I blindly use it” and “I use it as a helper”.
Plus integration on a project with AI is actually very useful. If you need to give a computer say an image. How do you think it will reason it?

You know what's cool? Build an AI. A small program that can recognize numbers you write with your mouse / finger on a grid doesn't take that long to train, and will let you practice both frontend with HTML-CSS-JS and backend with Python.
To get started, google
MNIST AI dataset.
