smoll lil website for my software studio. lives at taf.sh.

it’s a static astro site wearing a cloudflare worker as a hat. no react, no client router, no 400kB of javascript to render a paragraph. you’re welcome.

the place where i pretend to be a company. it has services, an about page, a contact page, and case studies for the stuff i’ve shipped:

• TalentSync AI, resume roasting and career guidance for job seekers. free, because unemployment is expensive enough
• TalentSync HR, the same thing but for the people doing the rejecting
• rah.clinic, a clinic that runs on whatsapp, because nobody is downloading your app
• Systematic Reasoning, where i’m the founding engineer on ForgeIQX (compliance software, it’s cooler than it sounds, trust)

• every stylesheet inlined into the html. there is no moment where the page exists unstyled. firefox can cope
• page navigation slides around with native view transitions. product names morph from the list into the page title and it’s honestly the best part
• theme toggle does a circular reveal from the button you pressed. system, light, dark. pick your poison
• shader effects on product pages via canvas ui. they only run in chrome with a flag turned on, so roughly four people will ever see them. everyone else gets plain html and that’s fine
• ascii art that animates. the 404 page has a broken link cloud
• prefers-reduced-motion turns all of the above off, as it should
• llms.txt and markdown copies of every page, so the robots can read it too

• astro 7 (static)
• tailwind v4, warm greys and exactly one teal
• ibm plex sans and mono
• a cloudflare worker that redirects www to the apex, serves the build, and proxies /ph/* to posthog so adblockers stay mad
• bun
• caffeine, questionable sleep schedule

you need bun 1.3 and node 22.12+.

bun install
bun dev            # localhost:4321
bun run build      # social images, astro build, crawler exports
bun run cf:dev     # build, then run it inside the worker locally
bun run deploy     # straight to prod. no staging. we live dangerously

after a deploy, bun run seo:check:live pretends to be every social crawler and checks the preview cards actually load.

• ship more things to put on this site
• touch grass
• stop redesigning the site every two weeks (not happening)

taf.sh/contact. i reply within a day or two, unless i’m redesigning the site again.
