This page is dedicated to acknowledging the tools, technologies, and resources that helped bring this website to life. From the tech stack that powers the site to the creative tools used for content creation, we believe in transparency and giving credit where it’s due. Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the tools, frameworks, and processes that made this project possible.

Behind the Scenes

This website is the result of a collaborative process that combines human creativity with the support of cutting-edge generative AI tools. While the core content was crafted entirely by hand, without the use of AI, several elements of the site were enhanced with the help of these technologies to create a more engaging and visually appealing experience.

All images featured on this site were created using Gemini, an AI-powered tool, unless otherwise specified. The prompts used to guide Gemini in generating these visuals were developed with the assistance of DeepSeek, ensuring the images align with the vision and tone of the content. Additionally, the main components’ design and styling, as well as supportive text such as descriptions and excerpts, were created with the help of DeepSeek.

It’s important to emphasize that the primary content—articles, stories, and core ideas—was written entirely by humans, without any generative AI involvement. This human-created content served as the foundation and blueprint for all AI-assisted enhancements, ensuring that the heart of the website remains authentic and original.

We believe in the power of combining human creativity with AI innovation to push the boundaries of what’s possible. This collaboration allows us to deliver a unique and dynamic experience while staying true to the integrity of the original work.

Under the Hood

This website is built with Astro, a modern static site generator designed for performance and simplicity. The entire site is crafted using only HTML and SCSS, without relying on any pre-made component libraries. This approach ensures a lightweight and fully customizable design.

To simplify the integration of fonts, we use Fontsource, which provides an efficient way to include and manage web fonts. For consistent and modern styling across all browsers, the base CSS is built on modern-normalize, a contemporary alternative to traditional CSS resets.

The source code is hosted in a private GitHub repository, enabling version control and collaborative development. Deployment is fully automated and handled by Cloudflare, ensuring fast and reliable delivery of the site to users worldwide.

All articles are written in Markdown (MDX), allowing for a clean and efficient writing process while supporting dynamic content when needed. This combination of tools and technologies ensures a fast, maintainable, and enjoyable experience for both creators and visitors.
