A website that fits in one HTML file

Pixel-art desk and CRT from the website’s original visual concept.

This homepage is a self-contained HTML document. Its styles, JavaScript, pixel illustrations, and project data are embedded in the file. There is no application server, database, package install, or client-side framework.

The deployable folder also contains standalone project and article pages, a custom 404, a sitemap, an RSS feed, and security headers. Those pages provide ordinary URLs and a non-JavaScript fallback.

Small by design

The editable source is separate from the generated files. Change site.json for content, src/style.css for the design, or src/app.js for the interactions. A Python script rebuilds the static output using only the standard library.

python3 tools/build.py
python3 -m http.server 8080 --directory public

Nothing here calls an AI API. “Made with AI” describes how the site was created, not a service you need to pay for to keep it online.
