For a total noob who just wants to build a simple blog / repository of fictional web stories I’ve written and upload images, is vibe coding a basic HTML based website with Claude, testing the files locally to see how they look and feel, then just uploading to Neocities later the best optionI’m not focused on actually creating the site, just its function, I don’t want much so I assume an LLM should get the job done and updating with new pages and such shouldn’t be hard
>>109782917If you're asking those questions you won't make it. Your best option is having a bunch of markdown files and call that your blog. LLM is not going to turn you into a software engineer. You're expecting to be a rocket scientist by asking questions to Elon Musk.

>>109782917i wouldn't use claude unless you really love the aesthetic and persona. chatgpt or gemini will do a way better job. just specify style so they don't churn out defaultslop ~
>>109782960Yeah? Go ahead and make your blog system with claude so we can laugh. If you're a vibe coder you don't even know how to get the requirements or what to ask ti begin with.
>>109782949I don’t have big expectations I just want a basic mostly text based site >>109783008That’s not me
>>109783125Ok in that case you should start by writing what are your requirements, so what you want to achieve and ask someone who knows what to do or AI. It can't be as vague as your post. The catch is the AI is going to give a generic answer like use tech X and then do Y but you can fine tune that. Next is don't be ambitious. Just because the AI generate code for you it doesn't mean you don't have to understand it. You absolutely have to understand it or you won't be able to maintain and if it's not ambitious you understand it better.Here's some tips:- Do you want to make just docs with an hierarchy of clicks? That is not hard to do. It's not ambitious.- Do you want to make also possible search for a specific word in your docs. It's slightly harder because you need to traverse all files.- Do you want to categorize your files? Now you're staring to have problems because that might require a database.- Do you want o have author, creation date, group, etc? Now you definitely need a database.- Is it web based? If yes you opened a big can of worms. Web tech is ugly and poorly designed with too many unrelated technologies glued together.- Does it have to convert to other formats? Now you seriously have to know how to code. Or just use pandoc.Good luck. As for which vibe coder, doesn't matter. They're all kind of shit In complex things but decent enough in simple things. You can even run one locally and it will work fine if you know what you're doing.
