Wtf does this do

The Gallery is a collection of fifty tiny websites, each one built as a separate self-contained page with its own look, fonts and mood. Think of it as one hallway with fifty doors, and behind each door is a completely different invented scene, like a night airmail line or a wood-fired kiln workshop. The whole thing was generated by an AI model rather than hand-coded by a team, and it is meant to be browsed for inspiration if you are designing your own website and want to see a wide range of styles side by side. Everything in the project is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. There is no build process, no framework, no database, and no outside files being pulled in from the internet. Fonts and images all live inside the project folder itself, which makes it easy to run and easy to copy. To try it out, you just need any basic way to serve static files, such as Python's built in web server, and then open it in a browser. Because every link inside the project is relative rather than absolute, you can also place the whole folder on any static hosting service, like GitHub Pages or Netlify, with no setup steps required. Under the hood, one file acts as a list of all fifty rooms, storing a name, a color, a title and a short description for each. Another file reads that list and builds the homepage automatically, including a search box and a color coded way to jump between rooms. Each individual room lives in its own folder and does not depend on the homepage or on any other room, so they can be added, removed or edited independently. If you want to add a new room yourself, you create a folder with its own page, add a preview image, and add one entry describing it to the list file. The project is released under the MIT license, meaning you can use, change and share it freely.
