  • At some point I hosted my blog in DNS; it was a bunch of chunks in TXT records which the frontend would reassemble. It had really strange side effects, e.g. editing a post could shuffle the chunks but then they'd end up being cached separately and some people would see weird artefacts in the text.

    I don't know why I did that, but it was fun!

  • It looks very very vibe coded. Maybe try a different design approach, the idea generally sounds interesting
  • I've been trying to find a list I had previously of sites hosting webpages at top-level domains. I think there was a webpage you could access at http://ai./ for a long time.
