Hi Lake! 👋

Demo Page • July 2025

Hey Lake! This is a special demo page I created just for you to show you how this whole website development process works. Pretty cool, right?

What is Splarf?

Splarf is my personal website where I share all the cool projects I work on - from 3D printing to solar power systems to web development. Think of it as my digital workshop where I document everything I build and learn.

How This Page Was Created

Here's the fascinating part: this entire page was created using artificial intelligence! Here's how the process works:

1. I describe what I want - I told an AI assistant (like ChatGPT) that I wanted a demo page saying hi to you and explaining how this process works
2. The AI understands the project - It looked at all the existing files and understood the website's structure, styling, and purpose
3. Code generation - The AI created this HTML file, following the same patterns as all the other pages on the site
4. Instant deployment - Once the code is written, it gets automatically deployed to the web through Cloudflare Pages

The Technology Behind the Scenes

This website is built with some pretty cool tech:

• HTML5 - The structure of the page (like the bones of a building)
• CSS3 - The styling and animations (like paint and decorations)
• JavaScript - The interactive elements (like the animated background you see)
• GitHub - Where all the code is stored and version controlled
• Cloudflare Pages - What makes the website available on the internet

That Cool Background Effect

Notice those moving lines in the background? That's supposed to look like a 3D printer creating layers - it's a subtle animation that gives the site its "maker" vibe. The AI knew to include this because it studied the existing code and understood the theme.

Why This Matters

This is a perfect example of how AI is changing the way we create things. Instead of spending hours writing code from scratch, I can now:

• Describe what I want in plain English
• Have an AI understand the context and generate appropriate code
• Get a fully functional webpage that matches the existing design
• Deploy it instantly to the web

It's like having a super-smart coding partner who knows exactly how your project works and can help you build new features quickly!

What's Next?

This demo page will now appear on the main Splarf homepage alongside all the other articles. Anyone visiting the site can see it and understand how this AI-assisted development process works. Pretty meta, right?

Lake, this is just the beginning of what's possible with AI-assisted development. The future of creating things - whether it's websites, apps, or even physical projects - is going to be incredibly exciting!
