dan.com.ai
Daniel Scally's personal site and writing desk — a fast, static "personal console" where every post declares, in the open, how much AI helped write it.
What it is
dan.com.ai is Daniel Scally’s personal site and writing desk — a fast, static home for notes and posts, a short About page, and a hub out to his other properties (dondon.ai and danielscally.com). No backend, no accounts, no data collection: it’s content shipped as files, with cookieless analytics the only telemetry.
The angle
Every post carries an aiFlag — a front-matter field that declares, in the open, how much AI went
into writing it, from fully AI-generated to fully human. On a web filling up with unlabeled machine
text, that honest label is the whole point: authorship transparency as a first-class feature, not a
disclaimer buried in the footer.
The identity
The look is a hand-authored light “ENCOM Corporate” theme — bright white, crisp cyan/blue schematic linework, deep-ink text, no glow — presented as a personal console: a fixed command sidebar and a dashboard of HUD panels (identity, recent transmissions, systems, manifest). IBM Plex Mono and Orbitron set the type; a self-hosted Encom face draws the DANCOM marks.
Status & stack
Live at dan.com.ai. A deliberately tiny Astro 7 static site — Markdown posts
validated by a Zod schema, /notes as the canonical listing with RSS and a sitemap, and OG images for
link previews. Publishing is a single commit: write a Markdown file, push to master, and GitHub
Actions deploys it to GitHub Pages. No database, no auth, no forms — by design.
