community guidelines

Last updated: May 30, 2026

html buddy is a home for interactive HTML pages people make with the help of an LLM — tools, explainers, visualizations, games, art, demos. We want the platform to be a quietly weird place where curiosity gets rewarded and people feel safe sharing what they built.

What's welcome

• Original interactive pages you built (with or without LLM assistance).
• Demos, simulations, educational explainers, tools, calculators, games.
• Generative or interactive art.
• Useful single-page tools you wanted to share.

What's not allowed

• Phishing or credential harvesting. Pages that visually impersonate the sign-in screen of a real service to capture credentials. The single most-quarantined category.
• Hate, harassment, or threats targeting people on the basis of identity.
• Sexual content — we are not the right home for it.
• Content that endangers minors in any way, including CSAM. We report this to authorities.
• Content that promotes self-harm or glamorizes violence toward others.
• Malware, scams, deceptive UIs, fake-update prompts, fake virus warnings, or anything intended to deceive viewers about what they're looking at.
• Content that infringes copyright or trademark — if you don't have the right to share it, don't upload it.
• Doxxing, revenge content, or unauthorized publication of private information.
• Illegal content under U.S. law.

How moderation works

Every uploaded page is automatically classified into one of three states:

• Approved — visible in feeds and discovery.
• Limited — reachable by direct link only, excluded from feeds and discovery. Used when the classifier isn't sure, or when a page accumulates user reports.
• Quarantined — not visible to anyone but you. Used for pages we believe clearly violate these guidelines.

Reports

Anyone signed in can report a page. Multiple reports against an approved page move it to limited automatically. Pattern abuse (reporting unrelated pages, coordinated brigading) is itself a violation.

Appeals

If your page lands in quarantine and you believe the classifier was wrong, you can resubmit it for review from your profile. The classifier re-judges from scratch; prior reports are cleared.

Account actions

Repeated violations can result in account-level limits (e.g., reduced upload cap), suspensions, or termination. We try to communicate clearly when we take any action, but we reserve the right to act without notice in serious cases.
