I. Introduction
Are you already overwhelmed by the endless CRUD operations in your code? Frustrated with the need to install dependencies and set up environments just to build a simple webpage, followed by the never-ending updates?
OneFile is a single-file coding challenge designed to reignite your interest and joy in programming!
Write the code you want, using the simplest approach: just one file. Rediscover the original fun of programming.
II. Requirements
When you step away from modern frameworks and libraries, your talent gets a chance to shine! If you have an idea, write it down—maybe all you need is just one file.
The OneFile programming challenge requires:

- Clear code structure with comments, under 5000 lines
- Any programming language (Markdown-only files are not allowed)
- No external files (images, videos, CSS, etc.)
- Complete functionality with educational or practical value
- (Optional) Can depend on at most one open-source library or framework
