• Of course, I forgot to add the license for the site. Not to fret, I’ve added it in the repo.

  Also, huge s.o. to Ephraim Duncan with the work he’s done on his site, he’s seriously outdone himself with the guestbook page.

  There’s just this unexplainable magic in seeing neat features packaged together so elegantly.

• Life comes at you real fast. Here I was a couple days ago comparing the latest GPT-4o model to her, only for OpenAI to be forced to remove the “Sky” voice that had an eery resemblance to Scarlett Johansson’s voice. I’ll link Scarlett’s statement, but wow, just wow.

• I know I’m a bit late to the party, but wow. That OpenAI keynote really spoiled Google’s party.

  I’m ngl, I got a bit worried with the emphasis on text-based prompts until now, but with GPT-4o, at least we’re not that far away from having a fully-fledged Jarvis in our pockets.

  Who would have thought that we’d end up getting Her along the way though?

• Deciding on a sans-serif font is proving to be a very arduous task. In an ideal world, I’d love to use Helvetica Neue, but the fact that it is only available on Apple devices means that other users would miss out on seeing the site as I envisaged (I know, I’m picky like that).

  While I’m at it, I’ll attach a few great font sites that I’ve run into:

  • Uncut
  • Fontshare
  • Free Faces
  • The League of Moveable Type
  • Open Foundry
  • Typophilia (admittedly a repository, but comes with plenty of info and quality sites)

• The website is nearly completed at this point (thankfully). I’ll probably make a follow-up to my first post, focused more on my development experience on building the site.

  Stay tuned!~

• Hey there! Just dropping in to say hi 🫡
