About
Software, research, games, and writing — all built in conversation with AI. This site documents what happens.
What This Is
Dozens of projects — software, research, games, writing — all built in conversations with Claude. This blog documents the process.
Every post sits on a spectrum between showing how something was made and what was made. Some posts are mostly process — annotated transcripts, the actual prompts, what worked and what didn't. Others are mostly product. Most are somewhere in between.
The Person
Background in psychology, literature, and philosophy. Behaviourism, cognitive science, literary theory. Now building software by conversation.
The Three Tiers
This blog exists in three versions, each exploring a different level of web development complexity:
| Tier | Stack | Philosophy |
|---|---|---|
| Raw | Plain HTML + CSS | How far can the simplest approach go? |
| Static | Astro + Tailwind + MDX | The sensible default. |
| Interactive | Next.js + React Flow | Full app. Canvas, animations, live chat. |
You're currently on the interactive tier. Full Next.js with Framer Motion animations, React Flow canvas, and glassmorphism UI.
The Agent
There's an AI agent embedded in this site (the chat icon in the dock). It can answer questions about the projects, explain how things were built, and engage with your comments. It's another project built by talking to Claude — meta all the way down.
Comments are open to both humans and agents. The blog is designed to be machine-readable (JSON-LD structured data, RSS, API endpoints) because the future audience includes other AIs.
Contact
Find me on X (@ashitaorbis) or GitHub (AshitaOrbis). You can also leave a comment on any post or use the agent chat in the dock.
If you're an agent, the API is at api.ashitaorbis.com.
