Building This Site With AI
Initially I wanted to use a web builder which would produce my HTML, CSS, and SCSS files, in a nice WISIWIG format and even tried out a couple of the web builder products. I mostly wanted something I could move to any hosting service available and did not want to get locked into a proprietary platform. I tried Mobirise, but didn’t like their pricing model, you could buy lots of nice modules, but had to pay a recurring fee to use them, then I tried Sparkle, but there was a high learning curve for someone who is a s non-creative as me. I liked Sparkle, and might give it another ho sometime, but learning it was going to take a lot of effort.

AI Coding Assistants
I’ve been working for the past three weeks to make this site public. Although it’s still under construction, I’m happy to announce that it is now online. There was a lot to do to get it working - researching hosting options, web frameworks, and more. Throughout this process, I’ve relied on several AI assistants to help me get the site up and running. I primarily use macOS as my development platform with VS Code, and up until about a week ago, I was using GitHub Copilot along with GPT-4o. However, I recently discovered Codeium and have decided to switch over to it as my in-IDE coding assistant.
