9.1 Story time
I wrote Punct in 2022 because I wanted my own Pollen-like light saber that had different semantics and performance characteristics. But Punct doesn’t handle all the scaffolding that comes with building a complete website, and each time I used it in a site I found myself reimplementing a lot of the same functionality by hand.
I’d also written Splitflap (2021) for Atom feeds, and HTML5 Printer (2023) for correctly-wrapped and indented HTML output. In late 2024 I combined functionality from all three into a prototype GUI app called Mercury.
In December of 2025 I used Claude Code to ingest all of this stuff I’d already written and documented by hand, and Camp was born. So AI was used in the development of Camp, mainly to automate the tedious parts. I don’t feel it is as polished as it would have been if I’d written every line myself. But if I had waited until I had time to do that, it might never have gotten done.
