About the website

This website started because Instagram's kept downsampling my photos and because I needed somewhere to put my work on display. Now the fun of making a website kinda keeps the place growing, mostly in the form of vibe coding useless tools.
This .fr website is written in english — that's because .fr stands for .fradé, the french equivalent of "bratan" :).

Design

During my PhD, I played In Other Waters. I liked it a lot.
It's a short sci-fi story about a scientist on a distant ocean planet. This was super fun to play, because in real-life I was a scientist in-training locked down by the Canadian government in a 9m2 student room during the first COVID wave.
The UI was incredible, and I mean this website as an homage (certainly not as a copyright infringement).
You should give it a try! It's short, well designed, cheap, and good fun.

Tools

• Cursor. I never web-deved before. Cursor is a nice LLM interface, it generates a lot of slop, but it's very fun to learn how to create something by fixing it. Although now most LLM providers have a command line interface tool that probably works better than Cursor. At the moment, I'm using Claude through a CLI in my usual VS Code setup.
• Iconoir. Awesome website for icons.
• OVH. The servers are hosted in France, the prices are reasonable, and support is reactive.
