I built this. One button drops you on a small, handmade website, with a short card about it before you go. Every site in there was opened and written up by hand, about 900 so far. No feed, no account, nothing tracking what you liked.

How much AI was used to generate this website? The text certainly seems like it came straight from an LLM, which is ironic for a site celebrating the hand-made web.

    Look at the source and look for explanations behind a # tag, that's usually how Claude and CGPT write html.

    Edit, within < and >. I was thinking of bash with the #

    Yep, page source is littered with verbose and unnecessary comments that no human would bother making.

    Fair. I leaned on AI, for the code and for picking and drafting a lot of the recent additions. The comments in the source were its working notes; I've stripped them from the build. I overstated "by hand" in the post: the rules and the final say are mine (no algorithm, no tracking).

    OP, please clean the LLM comments out of your html. You're gonna get flamed for that.

    Case in point, staring on line 16:

      The one place a domain is hardcoded, and it has to be.
    
      Two hosts serve identical content - culdesac.site and the vercel.app
      subdomain, which stays working alongside on purpose. To a search engine
      that is duplicate content, and without this it picks a winner itself and
      may well pick the wrong one. A canonical URL is absolute by definition,
      so this cannot be relative the way the internal navigation is.
    
      If the primary domain ever changes, it changes here and in
      public/sitemap.xml and public/robots.txt together. check-canonical fails
      the build if those three disagree.

    This is fun.
