I made a tiny HTML engine—without docs, it’s just witchcraft. Help?
Ever built something that feels like magic… but only you know the spell?
I’ve been tinkering with a tiny hobby project called ZIN Engine — it lets you sprinkle dynamic magic into plain HTML using custom tags. No frameworks, no build tools… just HTML that does stuff.
The problem? Without documentation, nobody’s going to figure out how it works (except me… and, let’s be honest, future me will also forget).
If you enjoy writing clear, friendly docs — or just want to poke around a quirky little HTML engine with me — check it out: github.com/zin-engine
Your reward! the satisfaction of turning my HTML witchcraft into a real spell book… and actually knowing what the heck it does.

this is pretty interesting. consider me intrigued. can you link to a site you've built with it? maybe also add to the GH somewhere, i checked a few places but didnt see anything
Hey @catt_marroll ,
Thanks for checking it out! I don’t have any live projects hosted yet, but I do have one locally. I’m planning to put together a small demo project with ZIN Engine this coming weekend and will share the live link here once it’s up.
Appreciate the interest—it’s great motivation to get something out there!

@cttricks yeah please do! I love the idea of building your own tools like that.
May not become the next react but just genuinely cool to hack on things for yourself imo!
