Oh, thanks! That was such a quick implementation—and a nice addition to the Show HN gallery, especially for HN-related projects.
When I came across WikiTok yesterday, the first thought that popped into my mind was how this format could work for HN. And here we are!
With the abundance of AI coding assistants available today, creating prototypes, demos, or MVPs can now be done in just a few hours instead of taking days or even weeks. As developers, we should absolutely take advantage of these tools to stay ahead and remain innovative—otherwise, we might risk being left behind!
I made a prototype template for a site and had it exactly how I wanted in about an hour. I mocked it up in Photopea, gave Claude an image, and told it to generate HTML that would make a page with those qualities.
A few tweaks and a couple more prompts later and I had all the main elements I wanted in place, and just need to fill content which I won't use AI for.
Probably saved me several hours because I suck at frontend.
I also struggle with frontend, can you share any more about how you did this? All local? From a service? My usage so Fae is limited to copilot, but I'd like to try other things.

To be fair it is really not great, but it works for the joke and I'm impressed by how good it works for how little time it took.

claude isn’t local. the key is providing the image to direct the html and css from the llm
