# Web Artifacts Builder
## Overview
Create self-contained, interactive web applications as single HTML files. These artifacts require no server, no build process, and can be shared as standalone files that run in any modern browser.
## When to Use
- Creating interactive demos or prototypes
- Building standalone calculators or tools
- Data visualization dashboards
- Interactive documentation
- Shareable proof-of-concepts
- Any web experience that needs to work offline
## Quick Start
1. **Create single HTML file** with all CSS/JS inline
2. **Use CDN for libraries** (Chart.js, Plotly, etc.)
3. **Embed data directly** as JSON or JS objects
4. **Test locally** by opening file in browser
5. **Share** as single file attachment
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<style>
body { font-family: system-ui; padding: 20px; }
.btn { padding: 10px 20px; background: #007bff; color: white; border: none; cursor: pointer; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Interactive Tool</h1>
<button class="btn" onclick="calculate()">Calculate</button>
<div id="result"></div>
<script>
function calculate() {
document.getElementById('result').textContent = 'Result: ' + (Math.random() * 100).toFixed(2);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
