Over the weekend I was discussing the latest news relating to open weights with some of my non-techie friends. After 30 mins of waffling, I realised it is quite a long and interesting story, with many twists and turns.
I've always wanted to create a 'long scroll' story, but have never found a suitable story to tell. This felt like a fun weekend project to undertake.
The story itself doesn't have too many scroll effects (which is probably a good thing), it was more about trying to tell a story with a certain style that wouldn't really fit on my personal blog.
Would love to get your feedback on the content and / or presentation.
AI Usage Notice: I used AI to help research the content, but the story itself was written entirely by me. Whereas the long scroll website was created entirely by Claude Code.
As an aside, I had Claude create a simple markdown-based rendering process (inspired by remark.js) to ensure a deterministic rendering that didn't alter any of my words.
