Tjakoen's personal site (tjakoen.github.io), a custom BATCH + GRAIN app that doubles as the strongest possible proof the stack works: AI-first design, served as plain static files, with a lightweight AI demo that runs entirely in the visitor's browser.

Status: live and running. THE EDITOR shell (the whole site as one VS-Code-style window), the /grain and /batch showcases, the hero desk on / (watch the AI act), the /catalog, and the notes + rendered layer docs (through MILL) are all built and served today by server.ts, and the zero-ops GitHub Pages deploy is live (batch/export via .github/workflows/pages.yml). The productivity views (Notes, Calendar, Mail, and About) are all live. New here and want to make a small edit? → HACKING.md (route → source map + "which file do I open").

Needs Bun, pinned to 1.3.14, the same version CI runs. There is no bundler and no build step: Bun runs the TypeScript straight from source, so the dev server is the whole toolchain.

bun install
bun run dev              # http://localhost:3000  (hot reload, no build)

Then visit:

The checks this repo holds itself to, all runnable locally:

bun test                 # the unit suite
bun run check            # TypeScript, no emit
bun run export           # the static build GitHub Pages publishes

• It's a consumer of the stack: a bespoke app, re-skinning GRAIN via its public seams.
• It uses MILL only for content (the notes/blog + the rendered BATCH/GRAIN docs). MILL does not build the site: the bespoke surfaces (hero desk, calendar, mail) are the portfolio's own work.
• Organizing concept: a populated productivity app (Notes · Calendar · Mail · About) with the AI desk as an assistant that operates them. Not the "Project" product in project/.

• PLAN.md, the execution plan: export → Pages, in-browser AI demo, the build pieces.
• FEATURES.md, the feature menu (north star, the desk, anti-features, reuse table).
• CONTENT-BACKLOG.md, the content to author (guardrails: public repo, neutral).
• GRAIN-PAGE.md · BATCH-PAGE.md, the /grain and /batch showcase plans.
• PHILOSOPHY.md, the beliefs the site proves.

🤖 Built with Claude, and it is also the proof. This site is the stack's own demo: I made the calls, Claude typed them, and the same pages you are reading are the receipts. I don't prompt and pray, I prompt and prove. How I actually work with AI, receipts and all →
