Vibe coding art

The advent of AI-assisted coding has made it almost trivially easy to spin up custom software. This has made it much easier to view coding a website as something as lightweight as recording music or engaging in some other hobby.

To that end, I've created many different little art projects in recent months. Most are little more than the pastime of a few hours, but occasionally they are successful enough to warrant a subdomain and a build pipeline.

One such example is Fractavibes, an interactive generative art site I wrote with the help of Claude. It uses procedural (i.e. non-AI) generation to paint random pixels onto an HTML5 canvas. The code is simple, but the end result is quite satisfying for little more than a few hours messing about.
