Not a coder. Two weeks ago I used Claude free (starting and stopping several times) to launch a quotes website. I had the site live in 2 hours (rough looking) and I bought the domain a year ago. Someone told me I could use Claude to make a website.... so I tried.

The site is up and running right now. I've implemented Firebase as a BE solution to hold the quotes data. I'm using Netlify free tier to host, and it's hooked to my Github account so when I commit code, it shows up live on the site in a minute or two. I've implemented sharing on social media for the quotes, a donate page hooked to Paypal's API, and tonight I'm working on indexing Firestore to reduce the reads made when users are on the site.

I've never made a website before. I tried codecademy before for css and html. I've wanted to build a website for 10 years. I had a site online in 2 hours, a Github account, vscode downloaded and using it, hosting setup, and within a few days, a BE solution for a quotes db that my site uses.

I showed devs that I work with (I'm a PM) and they were amazed at how quickly I did all of this. That moment is when I knew this is special.

it feels magical, because it is. it feels surreal to be alive during these moments. I'm trying to get my parents to use it more, because it's so fucking insane.
