"please help he" — me, circa early web days
This repository captures my very first steps into web development — raw, unfiltered, and genuinely real. No frameworks, no npm installs, no Stack Overflow rabbit holes (well, maybe a few). Just pure HTML, trial and error, and the excitement of seeing a heading render on a browser for the first time.

index.html |
The main file — a sandbox of everything I was learning |
hellofolder/hello.html |
My first attempt at multi-page linking |
This isn't a project — it's a lab notebook. Here's what I was throwing at the wall:
- Text tags — headings (
h1–h6), paragraphs, bold, italic,<pre>blocks - Semantic HTML —
<main>,<section>,<article>,<aside>,<footer> - Links & navigation — external links (Google, YouTube), internal page links
- Images — inline images with
src,height,alt - Tables — with
<caption>,<thead>,<tbody>,colspan - Forms — text inputs, password fields, radio buttons, checkboxes,
<select>,<textarea>, submit - Subscript & superscript — H₂O and 3² = 9 energy
- Embedded media — YouTube
<iframe>,<video>tag - Multi-page structure — linking between
index.htmlandhellofolder/hello.html
- The
<h1>inside<head>doesn't render — it belongs in<body>. You'll laugh at this later. - Duplicate
idattributes on form elements will bite you when you hit JavaScript. <pre>is for preformatted text, not layout hacks — but hey, you figured that out.- That empty
<video src="">was optimistic. Love it.
This messy little file was the seed. From here came CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, MongoDB, real projects — Onyx (encrypted chat app), HopePlates (food donation platform), and a whole career in full-stack development.
Every senior dev has a file like this somewhere. This is mine.
