I GAVE MY WEBSITE A BOSS FIGHT

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Missing the personality of the old internet, Paul Bakaus rebuilt his personal website over ten days with Claude Code as a retro Amiga-style world, using a 4,096-color palette, live-synthesized music, and a boss fight against a monster called Jirasaurus. Each page became a themed scene, from a rooftop panel and a speaking auditorium to a floppy-disk office platformer, and three pages hide playable games. Claude wrote the code, built the art pipeline, and composed the music, but animation needed a leg rig and constant feedback, and the site stays a fast, optional-to-play Ghost theme where reading still comes first.
