Who hasn't had an idea about a webpage or an article that wanted to be written but didn't know coding? It became simpler and simpler with PageForge. A webpage created with the help of AI. That lets you write text and then turn it into an index.html that simple. You don't need to write even one line of code. Why does it matter? Lightweight, offline, and allowing for everyone who wants to use it. On my journey to see the beauty of AI and make things simpler for people. I found that the most used skill is programming. And a lot of people don't know how. So why not make everything easier for people to see what AI can do and give people ideas to try themselves with AI or even see the beauty of coding and learn themselves? Now I will explain what you need to know about this project. Technical Structure And it's only built in one file of code, index.html. HTML handles structure, CSS for visuals and layout, and last but not least, JavaScript for logic and generation. Editor design A standard <textarea> is used to make sure that there is broad browser compatibility and predictable input behavior. Event-driven updates or changes allow content changes to be shown immediately in the results. So you can get an idea of what it looks like. Text Parsing Strategy Every line of input text is parsed using simple string operations. And this is why the formatting rules are kept simple to keep the parsing reliable. Live Preview Rendering The content is directly rendered to the DOM using HTML injection. This provides immediate visual feedback. So you can see what is happening. Code used Here we will preview the code that made the project. Live preview update system function updatePreview() {
preview.innerHTML = parseText(editor.value);
}
editor.addEventListener("input", updatePreview); function updatePreview() {
preview.innerHTML = parseText(editor.value);
}
editor.addEventListener("input", updatePreview); Download as index.html const blob = new Blob([finalHTML], { type: "text/html" });
const a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
a.download = "index.html";
a.click(); const blob = new Blob([finalHTML], { type: "text/html" });
const a = document.createElement("a");
a.href = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
a.download = "index.html";
a.click(); Text to html parser function parseText(text) {
const lines = text.split("\n");
let html = "";
lines.forEach(line => {
if (line.startsWith("## ")) {
html += `<h2>${line.slice(3)}</h2>`;
} else if (line.startsWith("# ")) {
html += `<h1>${line.slice(2)}</h1>`;
} else if (line.trim() !== "") {
html += `<p>${line}</p>`;
}
});
return html;
} function parseText(text) {
const lines = text.split("\n");
let html = "";
lines.forEach(line => {
if (line.startsWith("## ")) {
html += `<h2>${line.slice(3)}</h2>`;
} else if (line.startsWith("# ")) {
html += `<h1>${line.slice(2)}</h1>`;
} else if (line.trim() !== "") {
html += `<p>${line}</p>`;
}
});
return html;

Pageforge is a tool for: Writing blogs in a simple way. Creating a simple webpage. A tool to see what AI can do. Learn what programming can achieve. Writing blogs in a simple way. Creating a simple webpage. A tool to see what AI can do. Learn what programming can achieve. Use Cases Students and beginners learning programming or studying AI. Creating a project or university without the need to create a full web framework. Writers and bloggers, trying to write their article. Or static hosting. Rapid prototyping: try to build it yourself and see what you can do. Students and beginners learning programming or studying AI.

Rapid prototyping: try to build it yourself and see what you can do. Conclusion I hope you get interested in AI and web creation or learned something useful. We saw how AI could change how we see web development and coding, and how with a little patience and repeated error, we could become better and better.
