I want to make my boyfriend a programming surprise. I have some basic HTML experience from following a website tutorial, but I'd love to make something of my own this time. I'm happy to learn more. Any ideas?
What cute coding project could I make for my programmer boyfriend?

How about a little page that gives him a different message each day? You could start with HTML and add a bit of JavaScript to pick a message based on the date. It can be as simple or as personal as you want.

A tiny game could be really sweet. It doesn't need complicated mechanics. Maybe he clicks through a few screens and gets a surprise message at the end. You could make the artwork yourself or look for free assets in a game engine's asset store.

You could make a small app with a button that shows a sweet message when he opens it. A notification is another possibility, though a message on the page would be a simpler place to start.

A small game sounds fun! Would I need to learn a game engine for something that simple?

Not necessarily. You could make a simple click-through game with HTML and JavaScript, especially since you've already tried HTML.
