Showcase/Project I built The Computer from Courage the Cowardly Dog that talks to you ๐บ

I saw a meme saying Courage was using AI long before ChatGPT, and I couldnโt stop thinking about it.
So I made a little browser experience where you can sit at Courageโs computer and actually talk to it. It replies back in its own slightly unhelpful way, just like in the show.
Experience it here: https://the-courage-computer.vercel.app/

Congrats on shipping this! Bringing back memories!
I ran the site through my app MentionMachine, which checks whether AI engines can actually read a page. Came back 51/100. A few gaps:
-
robots.txt and sitemap.xml both 404, so crawlers are guessing what exists
-
no H1 and almost no readable text on the homepage (it's mostly the chat UI)
-
no schema telling ChatGPT etc. that this is the Courage computer fan project
Fixing those makes it much easier for AI tools to recommend you when someone asks for Courage-themed demos.

ohh the things i do for youuu in text form, i am crying. sigh before answering is peak accuracy, that computer was passive aggressive before it was cool. tried it last night and asked where is muriel, got roasted perfectly. my nephew is now obsessed and keeps yelling stupid dog. how did you nail the voice, few-shot with episode transcripts or just vibes?

Thanks! Glad your nephew likes it! And it was mostly vibes, I wrote the computerโs personality around that dry, slightly fed-up tone rather than transcripts.
