A solar eclipse happens regularly, but the one that will happen next week will be the last in the northern hemisphere for several decades, so do not miss it, guys. I actually could have missed this if my wife did not tell me about it :) As a software engineer, I spotted the issue - there are actually many websites about the solar eclipse, but they are either too professional or do not give enough answers, so I decided to build one https://sun-eclipse-2026.com/ The thing is that usually I build products for someone, and usually I do not promote them. I can review architecture, propose next steps, define tech strategy, lead teams, but promote - hard. In the age of AI, building a simple info website sounds simple - just use Claude, describe the goal, and you get what you need, but it will not be what you really want. I spent some hours building the website, and each time I got just a default AI slop. Nothing fancy; each page has its own style, its own layout, and its own components. After several tries, I decided to step back a bit and follow the process I do for my other projects - build a dedicated page with all the styles and elements. I iterated on it until I got the state I like. Only after that do I start building the website page by page. That was the easiest part. Now, I need to tell the world about it, and this is where I struggled. Usually, I do not write much and am not present much in forums or communities. Even this post is quite a challenge for me. Nevertheless, I started searching for relevant topics on X, Reddit, and Threads. Even though at the beginning the goal was to just share the link, later I realised that it was actually quite interesting - learn smth new, discover different aspects of the topic- so the link I shared was eventually not just a direct self-promotion, but more just naturally shared content. There are still some days left to get more users to my website, and even if I do not get a lot of them, I already got a great weekend experience. submitted by /u/Erem_in
