Tech for transparency

This site is a (partially) handmade website created from an export of my previous Squarespace site.

The Migration

Squarespace’s export produces a WordPress-format XML file—an ironic intermediary format that’s barely usable on its own. Using Claude Code, an AI coding assistant made by Anthropic, I converted this export into an Astro site.
