Build Your First Webpage From Scratch: index.html in 10 Minutes
No installers, no editors, no npm, no Docker. With only a text editor and a browser, publish your first HTML page, including a ball that falls with real weight, squashes on impact, and rises again, all with pure CSS.
Bring Your Page to Life: JavaScript in 10 Lines
Ten lines of plain JavaScript are enough for a real interactive app. Build a daily-cups habit tracker that opens with bismillâh, shifts colour at the halfway point, and closes with alhamdulillah at the eighth glass, no frameworks, no build tool.

CSS Without Frameworks: What Tailwind Hides From You

Honest Prices: Mutaffifîn 83 Applied to E-Commerce
Drip pricing, fake urgency, pre-ticked add-ons, fake discounts. The patterns that erode trust and the cart-summary shape that refuses them. Half technique, half mizan (measure).
The Cheapest Checkout Form: HTML5 Validation Only
No React Hook Form, no Zod. Required, minlength, pattern, autocomplete, plus a small ValidityState-driven script that reveals friendly errors on blur. :user-invalid is the CSS pseudo-class you have been waiting for.
Quantity Inputs That Don't Break, With Intl.NumberFormat
Clamp, floor, validate. One plus-minus input with HTML5 bounds and a 15-line guard. Then Intl.NumberFormat for honest currency display across USD, TRY, EUR, and JPY, including the JPY no-decimals gotcha.
A Slide-Out Cart Drawer With Only Transform and Transition
Open, close, Escape, backdrop-click, body-scroll-lock, and accessibility. The universal cart drawer pattern, built from two fixed elements, a transform, and a 20-line script.
Filter Products With Ten Lines of Plain JavaScript
A search box that narrows the product catalog as the user types, with substring match, debouncing, and a live match counter. No Lunr, no Fuse, no backend.
One Line of CSS for a Shop Grid That Just Works
Mobile, tablet, desktop, ultra-wide, all handled by a single grid-template-columns rule. No media queries, no framework. The difference between auto-fit and auto-fill, and why you always want one of them.
