I keep a folder on my computer called ideas. It has forty-something files in it. Some are half-written essays, some are single-line notes I meant to expand, some are whole app concepts that will never leave the folder. It is, in aggregate, the graveyard of the last few years of my brain.
This site is an attempt to stop doing that.
The premise is simple: if I make a place where half-finished things are allowed to live, maybe I'll actually finish them. Or maybe I won't — maybe I'll publish them half-finished and that'll be fine too. The point isn't polish. The point is the publishing.
Why it looks like this
I didn't want the usual developer-portfolio look — the dark mode, the mono fonts, the neon-green terminal blink. Plenty of people do that well. I wanted something that felt more like an old paperback than a startup landing page: warm background, a serif you can actually read, margins wide enough to breathe.
The content will tell the AI story. The design doesn't need to.
How it was built
I built this with Claude. Most of it, actually. I described what I wanted and we went back and forth until it looked like something I'd want to read. I wrote the copy. Claude wrote the CSS. Somewhere in there is an argument about the nature of authorship, but I'm not going to make it here.
If you're reading this, hi. What you're looking at is a first draft. Everything will probably change. That's the point.
