good heavens, is there anything as self-indulgent as a personal site?

I asked Claude to design a dating app, TuranDATE, based on Puccini's opera Turandot, in which suitors must solve three riddles or be executed. The dream!

PS: even before vibecoding, everyone and their goldfish thought they had a new idea to revolutionize online dating. It's probably about to get even stupider out there. MAYBE we can all make our OWN dating apps (à la Bojack Horseman)? Then, once you match with someone on [Match-owned dating app of choice], you invite each other to your personal dating apps? And THEN ghost each other 👍

PPS: Turandot is only 90% complete because Puccini died before he could finish it, meaning the final 10% is left as an exercise for the producer. Does the prince get the girl? Or does she turn into a dragon and devour him? we report you decide
