Based on your requirements and resources I would recommend using plain simple JavaScript over any framework. The time you would spend learning any framework or build system would be better spent iterating on your core experience and experim

These are brilliant! I can imagine each of these taking off as Telegram Bots or TikTok games/fads. I wonder if you can automatically generate bots out of these and track the engagement as some kind of a feedback loop.
