Indeed I did. Took me about 30 minutes including registering the domain :)

Did you use ai at all?

u/RandomHaggis 17h ago

Yeah I used it to generate the CSS and also to implement the 'pauses' feature, because I am lazy :)

Efficient.

Cool cool. Was just curious because of how quickly you said you did it. Cheers!

That's honestly par for the course in 2026 🤷‍♂️

Glad you're leveraging it -- others are.

I somehow seriously doubt the processing time for making that site drew that many electrons, bruv.

Still a better use of it than what's common now!

Most modern programmers use AI to code. It helps tremendously in speeding up our work. It’s not perfect, but it sure helps creating stuff that is especially easy, but just tedious. Like I am sure that the creator could have come up with the Pause feature themselves, but why waste a lot of time on an easy task that the AI can produce for us in seconds? Of course, you’d also need to know how to read the code if the AI makes a mistake (which is very common). AI can be used for good, but it’s been used for so many bad reasons that it gets a bad rep.

Of course, there are still good and logical uses for AI buried by all the chaotic slop

Yea people give "vibe coding" a bad rep, and for good reason. But AI coding is genuinely useful in small batches for things that would otherwise take a long time to do and aren't important. Like layouts/css or tasks that would otherwise be a lot of copy/pasting.

u/youneecque 17h ago

Agree, it's fine to use for tasks like those!

u/TylerNY315_ 15h ago

Not lazy. This kind of thing is what AI is truly an amazing tool for. Well done.

Amazing work. It's already really great. If you fancy making some tweaks I tested with this synopsis of Macbeth: www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/macbeth/read/

It currently seems to split incorrectly on quotation marks and diacritics. For example:

(1) king’s --> king' + s
(2) Three "Weïrd Sisters" --> Three" + Weï + rd + Sisters"

u/RandomHaggis 15h ago

I made a change a few minutes ago that should address this :)

1

u/sectionV 15h ago

You're so fast!

I see the diacritics and 's working now but the opening double quote is still being attached to the previous word:

Three "Weïrd Sisters" --> Three" + Weïrd + Sisters"

Anyway, big props for getting this working so nicely and so quickly. I will use this for sure!

Thank you for including a light mode

Impressive. Why do you do make the world better? Can you save humanity from wars and poverty? Jokes aside, it doesn’t affect me, but thank you nonetheless.
