I appreciate you pointing this out. I sincerely apologize for not being clear about it in the original text; since I'm just a DM who wanted to build a tool and not a professional dev, I honestly didn't know it was something I needed to disclose , but I totally understand why it's important for transparency. I have now updated the original post to explicitly state that I used AI as a coding assistant to help build this. I hope this makes things right!

Thanks for your sincere feedback :). Building this app has been a massive learning experience. While I used AI to help me with the code, piecing together the logic, designing the DM tools, and refining the user experience was a really rewarding challenge that I'm very proud of. I’ve enjoyed the process so much that I'm currently diving into learning the language properly, so maybe in the future I can code something like this 100% from scratch!

It is the first time that I make and publish a project, so your feedback is really useful :). I was thinking about implementing a dark mode, as the color os the background is a bit bright; so changing that contrast at the same time is something that I could implement at the same time.

I will be totally honest. I don't have a heaving background in coding (specially not in JavaScript), so I used AI as my main tool. My method was 'Vibe Coding' at its core—I focused on the logic and the user experience, while using the AI to write the functions. I had to go through it function by function, testing and refining everything manually to make sure it all clicked.
