Description

Papercuts started as a weekend experiment and turned into the thing I actually use. It is an illustrator portfolio, drawn playful, and deliberately small: one screen, one job, no settings page.

  • Real data from the first commit — no fixtures
  • Errors say what happened and what to do
  • Accessible: labelled, focusable, and readable at 200% zoom

Built with Lovable, deployed on a free tier, and it has not needed a single fix since it went up.

It is finished in the sense that I use it daily and have stopped changing it.

Workflow

  1. Generated the first pass in Lovable

    Iterated on the prompt rather than on the output — fixing the generated code by hand meant losing the fix on the next regeneration.
