I built this. One button drops you on a small, handmade website, with a short card about it before you go. Every site in there was opened and written up by hand, about 900 so far. No feed, no account, nothing tracking what you liked.

How much AI was used to generate this website? The text certainly seems like it came straight from an LLM, which is ironic for a site celebrating the hand-made web.

    Yep, page source is littered with verbose and unnecessary comments that no human would bother making.

    Fair. I leaned on AI, for the code and for picking and drafting a lot of the recent additions. The comments in the source were its working notes; I've stripped them from the build. I overstated "by hand" in the post: the rules and the final say are mine (no algorithm, no tracking).
