harder.dev

Retro-futuristic site built with Astro.
Current architecture is intentionally minimal and dynamic:

• high-level principles pages
• hybrid AI-powered live content feed (browser AI first, Cloudflare Worker fallback)

App Stack

• Astro (static output)
• TypeScript
• Preact islands
• Astro sitemap integration

Local Dev

npm install
npm run dev

Build and preview:

npm run build
npm run preview

Routes

• / home
• /principles
• /signals
• /about
• /contact

Hybrid Feed

Main files:

• src/components/islands/LiveSignalsWidget.tsx
• src/lib/universal-ai.ts
• src/lib/feed-sources.ts

Per item output:

1. TL;DR summary
2. Why it matters
3. Smart tags/categories
4. Link to full item

Processing order

1. Try browser AI (window.ai.languageModel) when available
2. Try Apple Intelligence bridge if present
3. Fallback to Cloudflare Worker /summarize
4. Final fallback heuristic summary

Feed sources

• GitHub releases (selected public repos)
• Trusted RSS/Atom blogs
• Worker-assisted fetching to handle CORS/domain restrictions
• Source allowlists for safer feed ingestion

Caching

• Client cache in localStorage (1 hour)
• Worker edge cache (caches.default)
• Optional KV metadata for conditional requests (ETag/Last-Modified)

Cloudflare Worker

Worker lives in worker/.

Endpoints:

• POST /summarize
• GET /github-releases
• GET /rss-feed
• GET /proxy

Worker safeguards:

• Workers AI model fallback chain (tries your requested llama-3.3-70b-instruct-awq first)
• host allowlists for RSS/proxy endpoints
• conditional upstream metadata via KV (ETag / Last-Modified)
• retry/backoff for upstream and GitHub calls

See worker/README.md for deployment and bindings.

Set frontend env var to enable Worker integration:

Deployment

GitHub Actions workflow:

• .github/workflows/azure-static-web-apps-delightful-water-0cb5fbc10.yml

Pipeline:

1. npm install
2. npm run build
3. Upload dist/ to Azure Static Web Apps
