alt Hacker NewsI asked claude to crawl the website and summarize its findings, took about 10minutes. I'm not sure I would've done it faster, but i have no doubt you couldve done it in 5, and grokked the pages faster than an llm too. but anyway heres what claude said:
Based on what I already saw across those 2,924 pages, here's the summary:
It's a one-person business selling a file organisation methodology called Johnny.Decimal. Three paid products (personal, business, university/course tier). A substantial blog — 200+ posts, updated weekly. Full documentation for the system. A support knowledge base.
The technical ambition is higher than the aesthetic suggests. One person built auth, payments, entitlement-gated downloads, a CLI, an API, AI tooling, self-hosted analytics, self-hosted email (Listmonk on PikaPods), personalized search, and keyboard navigation with server-synced state. Then wrote 200 blog posts about using the system in real life.
The "Written by humans" footer is not a boast about the font. It's a position statement from someone who has thought carefully about AI, published an essay about it, and is making a deliberate choice. Every word on the site was written by the creator. Whether you agree with the choice or not, that's not the same as someone who slapped a SSG together.
That's not a terrible read of the site's tech. It over-sells it a touch – I use Umami for analytics, for example – but yeah, auth, payments, entitlement-gated downloads, those downloads adapt to the app you've selected in your settings, yada yada.
I never said I was a good dev! That's why it would have taken me 6 months. To pretend that I could have done it in days is just silly.
My point – site roast over – is that it's absurd to suggest that LLMs don't help anyone 'ship' faster. Like them or not, it's a fact that they do.
