one-html-page-challenge

The goal is to create anything you want within 1 single html file. Practice your skills with the barebones of web development. How creative can you be with such restrictions?

View Submissions

Rules

• You must write all of your code in 1 single HTML file.
• Your file must be less than 1mb (measured by the file size on github).
• You cannot import any external files (this means you cannot import images, stylesheets or js files from external sources).
• Due to the nature of hiding lots of functionality behind APIs, you cannot have any incoming or outgoing network requests.
• You are allowed to use libraries, however the library must be hard coded into a script tag and still must fit under the 1MB file size. (I suggest using a cdn and replacing with hardcoding the minified library at the end, or use JSCompress).

How to Submit

1. Fork the repository.
2. Add your html file to the /entries directory with required meta tags in the <head> section:

   <meta name="description" content="Brief description of your entry">
   <meta name="author" content="Your Name">
   <meta name="github" content="your-github-username">
   

3. Commit to your forked repo.
4. Make a pull request to master from your forked repo.

Note: The entries.js file is now automatically generated from your HTML meta tags! No manual editing required.

* You may submit as many entries as you’d like.
