Hi everyone, my name is Steve. I am looking to start getting into web development and designing my own websites. I’m wanting to do this without AI. Anyone can use AI to build things but I want to actually learn what I am building and how to fix things myself and not being reliant on AI. I did get a raspberry pi over 10-15 years ago but I’ve not done anything with it. I learnt a bit of Python but I stopped after a month or two as life got busy. I’m looking for a challenge and something creative at the same time, hence moving in this direction.

Have you deployed anything live yet (Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, etc.)? Share your first live link + how it felt!

Which browser dev tools feature (console, elements panel, network tab, etc.) felt like a superpower once you understood it? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Mobile-first or desktop-first — what are you naturally doing and why?

So a lot of you already know there was a Hackathon a couple weekends ago. Even though I didn't place in it, I think I still built a pretty solid project and I'm at the stage where I need your help testing it. The web application is called KiddoTales and it's an children's book AI generator where all the parent has to do is plug in some simple information about their child and within a couple of minutes, they have a fully formed night time story to read to them or have the AI generated voices narrate it for them. Not only can you help me find what I can improve with this product, but you can also add QA Tester to your resume for this project as well since I am going to go to market with this very soon. Just go to the following URL and log in with a Google account and you're off to the races. If you need to test out upgrades, just use 5454 5454 5454 5454 for the credit card number and it will work as I have Stripe in Sandbox mode right now. Can't wait to see what you guys can come up with for me to help improve this product before it goes to market! https://kiddo-tales.com/?ref=CHRIS712
