In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to build a functional photobooth application directly on your Chromebook using the Antigravity 2.0 AI development platform. This project demonstrates how you can transform a simple computer—even a refurbished Chromebook—into a programming workstation with the help of local Linux environments and smart AI prompting.
One of the coolest parts of this build is using Antigravity 2.0 to write the entire codebase (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) for us. You’ll see exactly how I prompted the AI to build a custom square UI with a live webcam preview, a 3-second countdown timer, an automatic file-saving feature, and custom color filters like Cyberpunk and Mono (Black & White).
I'll also show you some crucial troubleshooting steps to bypass Linux terminal startup bugs on your Chromebook, how to manage your free Antigravity credit quota, how to host the app locally using a simple Python server command, and how to back up your code repository directly to GitHub.
Whether you are a woman in STEM, a mentor, or a DIY enthusiast, this project is a perfect way to see how AI can accelerate your software builds on everyday hardware.
