About this site
Welcome—you’ve found Epiphalactic Labs, my little slice of the small web. I’m building this place for a few simple reasons: to reclaim the internet I grew up with, and to keep learning as I go. I’m not anti-tech or anti-AI—I love what these tools can do—but I think we’ve let too much slip through our fingers. Somewhere along the way, we went from tools serving people to people serving tools. So this is my attempt to take some of that back—my own corner, my own pace, my own “social media.” Here you’ll find things I’ve built, things I’m experimenting with, projects in progress, and notes along the way. Some parts will be AI-assisted—code, images, edits—but the point is that you’ll still be able to find me in it. Stick around while I grow this into whatever it becomes.
The internet started as a way for people to communicate and share with each other. That idea didn't die — it just got buried under feeds and engagement metrics. This site is a small attempt to dig it back up.
No tracking. No ads. No algorithm. Just pages.
