Building This Site: A Weekend with AI

This site is built with Next.js, GSAP for scroll-driven animations, and an AI chat powered by Claude. The entire thing was designed and implemented in a weekend using Claude Code.

The Stack

• Next.js with App Router for the framework
• GSAP + ScrollTrigger for cinematic scroll animations
• Lenis for smooth scrolling
• Claude API for the AI "Ask Me Anything" section
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• MDX for blog posts (like this one)

What I Learned

Building with AI tools doesn't mean giving up control — it means spending your time on taste and decisions instead of boilerplate. The hardest part wasn't writing code. It was deciding what the site should feel like.
