I recently came across Spacefast and decided to give it a try to see what little micro sites I could push up. The problem is finding the inspiration. My first go was easy. I have a content calendar for another site I publish on, October Curio, and I need a place for it to live in private, so I connected my Claude with it and published it up. Then I got to thinking: if I could create anything to amuse myself, what would it be? The first thing that immediately came to mind was a collection of tiny Matt Berningers, cause why not? I used ChatGPT, aka Chatty G, to help me create the tiny Matts and soon Tiny Matt was live. It is glorious. You refresh the page and you get a new tiny Matt. I’ve started creating them based on song lyrics so this project could keep me busy for a while.
The next idea I had is something I would like to actually do at some point using real illustration, not AI, but I wanted to see a sort of working prototype – Otter Tarot. It does a daily card and it pretty simple with the art work- same art work on every card, just with a title overlayed when it renders. It’s cute.
Spacefast seems to be a good platform to get those random 2am ideas up and published. I’m sure I’ll get more unhinged at times depending on what I determine to be a good idea. Definitely check it out though.
