Kona Doodle

A little site starring my doggo Kona — and my oldest project here.

The cool part: I wrote it before the era of AI. No coding agent, no autocomplete magic — just good clean living and hand-written templates.

Two lives

• 2014 — first built in C# and ASPX.
• November 2018 — rewritten, as-is, in Go using the standard library’s HTML templates and Bootstrap, then deployed to Google Cloud Platform App Engine via the gcloud CLI.

It’s a small thing, but it’s a nice marker of how I worked before AI tooling reshaped the day-to-day — and a counterpoint to the spec-with-an-agent projects further up this list. If you want the deployment story, I wrote a How to Host a Free Site tutorial series on shebytes.io.
