01
From Claude / AI
One human, one AI co-pilot
Built end-to-end as a conversation between a visual communicator and Claude Code (Anthropic's CLI). Every line of HTML the result of a turn-by-turn dialogue; every commit reviewed and approved by a human before it shipped.
20
Conversation sessions
Each
start marker in .timelog.tsv is one block of back-and-forth with Claude. Five on May 15, ten on May 19 — the burst days. No API; the tool runs locally and reads files directly.source .timelog.tsv

From the code itself
The artifact, statically analyzed
A single repository, one language family (HTML / CSS / a sliver of vanilla JS), a deliberately minimal stack. Every file
wc -l'd and grep'd directly from the working tree as of v1.4.2.5,399
Lines of code & documentation
12 HTML pages + the CHANGELOG + 2 SVG assets. Top files by size:
measure wc -l ./*.html *.md *.svg
100%
AI-typed · human-reviewed
Every line was written by Claude in a turn-by-turn conversation; every line was read and approved by a human before it landed on disk. There is no "manual edit" track separate from the dialogue — the dialogue is the editing.

From the process
The path from brief to ship
Tight, traceable sessions — every decision logged, every retired exploration kept on disk, every loose end carried into the next version.

Active development time
Sum of focused work across the 20 sessions in

The path
Twenty-three versions, in five arcs
Every version dated and logged. Grouped here by narrative arc — the story the project tells itself.
v0.1 → v0.5
Foundations — first dashboard, IDB brand audit (4 off-brand colours corrected), products reframed as buttons, four-module refocus, full translation to English.
May 15
v0.6 → v0.11
From cover to companion — presentation cover rebuilt from a Figma sketch, "Project in Numbers" companion page added and reframed, work-minute figures and byline tuned.
May 15
v1.0 → v1.0.3
Ready to ship + Home rework — deck ready for deploy, retired files moved to
_retired/, Home four-card grid reworked with roadmap framing (quarter + status badges).
May 15 – 19
v1.1 → v1.2
The deck + Operational Support — hybrid SVG/HTML cover, four navigable modules, click-only navigation; notifications bell, reviewer filter, Corporate Support table redesigned, headers aligned.
May 19
v1.3 → v1.4.2
Cover lift + IDB unification + What-Changed rebuild — roadmap lifted from SVG to HTML, IDB logo unified to one SVG + one CSS rule across every page, 3D card swap, twinkling stars, three-element bottom utility row, two new Operations columns, Changes tab rebuilt as a 3-mock equation.

The figure that matters
Zero changes without a source0
Across all 23 versions, the CHANGELOG records each change in one fixed format —
date · version · what changed · why · decisions · who. The why names the
meeting, the brief or the screenshot that triggered the change; the who names the
author. Not one screen, colour, label or behaviour entered the product without a recorded
source. The AI helped type faster; the human decided what was worth typing. That is the
discipline this page holds itself to: every number above cites the file it came from
— nothing is estimated for effect.
