Wtf does this do

This template helps you build and launch a personal portfolio website using PyScript, a technology that lets you write Python code that runs directly in a web browser. The big idea is that you don't need any coding experience, software installed on your computer, or prior knowledge of web development to get started. Everything happens through your browser. When you click "Use this Template" on GitHub, it creates a copy of the project for you. You then open it in GitHub Codespaces, which is essentially a full coding environment that runs in your browser, no local setup required. From there, you can customize the site with help from GitHub Copilot, an AI assistant that helps you write code faster. The template includes a basic starting point: an HTML page, a Python script, and some configuration files. You edit those, preview your changes live, and deploy when you're happy with the result. This is aimed at anyone who wants a simple personal site, is curious about web development, or wants to experiment with PyScript and Codespaces without committing to a complex setup. A student building a portfolio, a teacher introducing coding concepts, or someone who just wants to put up a personal page would all fit the bill. The template keeps things deliberately minimal so you can expand it as much or as little as you like. When you're ready to publish, the project supports free deployment to either GitHub Pages or Azure Static Web Apps. Both host static sites, meaning the site renders in the visitor's browser rather than on a server. The README walks through the Azure setup step by step and links to a short video for the GitHub Pages route.
