AI can write code, but the magic of a first project is unmatched! 🗽

Namaste dev community! 👋

Today, I’m sharing a very special project of mine. It's a web page featuring all the states of India.
Before you dive into the code, let me be completely honest—I know this project isn't perfect, and it probably has quite a few bugs because this is literally my very first project!

And yes, I know that today AI can generate an HTML file in just a second. You ask for it, and AI puts the whole code right in front of you.

Even so, I chose to build this myself, using my own mind and some ai. Because as a beginner, when you struggle through errors and write the code yourself, the learning you get is something you can never get from a simple copy-paste.

Demo

One more thing... 🌍

I don’t just love my own country; I deeply respect and appreciate all countries around the world. I love learning about different cultures and places, and I just wanted to start by showcasing all the states of my own beloved country, India!

🛠️ My Tech Stack

  • HTML & CSS
  • JavaScript (Still learning and applying step by step!)

Happy coding🗽

not cool.😔

Building your first project while still learning is a big deal, and every first project has bugs. I like that you included all 36 states and UTs with a dropdown to jump between them.

One small tip from me: try to avoid using AI for now and focus on getting the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript really solid first. When you write and fix things yourself, it sticks so much better. Once you understand the foundations, AI becomes a really helpful tool because you’ll know when its code is right or wrong.

How is your studying going so far? And did you find the w3schools to be helpful?

very good start star!!!
that's nice bharat darshan 🔥🔥
to make it look more better can you add a india's map and when we click a state suppose assam or punjab etc then the map highlights that particular state and in that 3-4 small points shows up and if we hover cursor over it or click it then that point show the famous tourist place of that like golden temple of punjab
you understand?
👆 random uncles advise lol never mind if you think it is good then apply it. if not then you can ignore :)
