https://nindalf.com. I've written a few posts that have made it to HN [1].
I strongly oppose writing with LLMs and think it's more important than ever to write with our own words. If my writing is to be better than LLMs I need to hone it by writing more.
I'm proud of the website as well. I have used LLMs to assist with the UI dev. It has all 100s from PageSpeed. I've made it so it's easy to add pages within. All the books I've read in the last few years [1] and a minimalist gym tracker I use myself (any anyone can too!).

One of my major goals for 2026 was zero LLM use for writing, however I've found it a bit hard at times because LLMs are exceptional for research. Oftentimes I find that in reading an explanation or report that ChatGPT gives me about a topic there will be small turns of phrase or even whole sentences that capture a concept way better than I can. I then feel obstinate not using a clearly superior option, so I'm curious if you've run into that tension and if so how you navigate it.
Honestly I don't have an idea. I guess the stuff I write about I know enough to get a good first draft out, preserving my voice. But if I read a first draft by an AI I think I would be influenced.
