I'm a high schooler and built a countdown site with AI help. I'm trying to make it feel less generic. Any thoughts?
This is my first real big public project. It's a countdown site for any holiday (or a custom date), and you get a full screen countdown with animated effects like fireworks, confetti, snowfall, lanterns. You can build a custom one and share it with a link that carries all the settings.
I'm an early high schooler and AI helped mostly for the styling and CSS. Someone told me earlier it looked AI-generated. The background was the classic AI dark blue. So I spent tonight trying to make it feel more mine. I changed the fonts, warmed up the colors, kept the per holiday color palettes I picked by hand.
I'm still learning what makes a design feel intentional vs. templated, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback. Does it still feel generic? What would you change?
