8. HalcyonStudio

Documentation site

Preview of HalcyonStudio

Description

This started as a documentation site and was rebuilt from scratch after the first version collapsed under its own options. HalcyonStudio keeps the brutalist shell and throws away everything that was not being used.

  • Responsive down to a phone without a separate layout
  • Every action is undoable
  • Shareable state — the URL is the document

The whole thing is Bolt and about a week of evenings. The hardest part was not the build — it was deciding what to leave out.

Still rough: the mobile layout works but has not been designed, and I know it.

Workflow

  1. Generated the first pass in Bolt

    Kept the prompts in the repo next to what they produced, so a regeneration six months later starts from the same place.
