day 1
i want to make a flyer tool

day 1 (later)
what if the flyer watches you

day 2
the system now has memory
it remembers your words
it refuses to forget

day 2 (night)
users are being overwritten by their own inputs
this is important for the vibe

day 3
i cannot export a png anymore

day 3 (later)
added second user (fake)
they keep editing my flyer
they are faster than me

day 4
the interface hides itself when i ask for help
this feels correct

day 4 (later)
the program no longer makes flyers
it makes decisions

day 5
i have introduced “no escape mode”
closing the tab feels like losing

day 5 (night)
i just wanted to make a flyer

day 6
rebuilt everything from scratch
clean version
works perfectly
feels dead

day 6 (later)
reintroduced grain
reintroduced dust
reintroduced something else i can’t name

day 7
we are close

day 7 (later)
we are not close

day 8
full system implemented
every feature at once
nothing works together
this is the most honest version so far

day 8 (night)
it’s stuck on initializing

day 9
fixed bug
system works
too much

day 9 (later)
user: “i want to make a flyer”
system: “YOU ARE THE POSTER”

day 10
networked version
everyone is inside the same flyer
no one asked for this

day 10 (later)
i shut the server down
silence

day 11
made a minimal version
three buttons
finally usable
i hate it

day 11 (later)
“this is not it”

day 12
made the longest html file possible
it contains everything
including mistakes
especially mistakes

day 12 (later)
“what are we making”

day 13
definition achieved
lost immediately

day 13 (later)
i want to quit
i cannot quit

day 14
we make one flyer
just one
it works
it holds

day 14 (later)
make it cooler

day 15
it looks good now
it doesn’t fight me
i don’t trust it

day 15 (later)
made three more
they all work
this is suspicious

day 16
we are done

day 16 (later)
we are not done

day 17
final conclusion:

this was never about making a flyer

this was about discovering exactly how much a tool can change
before it stops being a tool

current status:
the flyer is somewhere in here
still printable
barely
