About this site

... the story and the history of it :)

Current version


This site emerged from a need to simplify everything while focusing on the message through carefully curated and relevant information.

So, I rebuilt it from the ground up!

It actually began as an inquiry to ChatGPT, requesting a website example with the simplest navigation. The initial response was promising. :) However, multiple iterations were necessary, along with corrections, adjustments, and optimizations. In the end, it turned out quite satisfactory.

I hope you'll enjoy it and give me some feedback. :)
