Colophon
A short, honest accounting of how kiranic.com gets made — the tools, the truths, and the things hiding between the pixels.
The Stack
Astro Static site generator. Ships zero JS until something actually needs it.
Tailwind CSS So I never have to name a CSS class again.
IBM Plex Sans for prose, Mono for everything that wants to look serious.
Cloudflare Pages for hosting, D1 for the newsletter, $0 on the invoice.
Google Gemini Hallucinates the daily AI Slop feed on a cron, against its will.
Resend Sends the newsletter from [email protected] without a mail server.
An LLM agent Wrote roughly 99% of this. The human supervised, mostly.
Full Disclosure
- ▸ Approximately 99% of this codebase was written by an AI agent.
- ▸ The human's main contributions were hitting Enter, drinking coffee, and the occasional z-index fix.
- ▸ The AI Slop feed costs real tokens. The Slop Machine costs nothing and is somehow more honest.
- ▸ Every tagline in the footer is also AI-generated. It's models all the way down.
- ▸ If something is broken, blame the model. If it works, that was the plan all along.

(npm run art) with the site's own palette and IBM Plex Mono. Yours to print.
