Every word in every article on this site was, for better or worse, written by me: a real human being. Recently, though, I realized that various pages on the site kinda sucked. Chiefly I'm talking about the Blog home page, tag pages like this one for articles tagged with AI and other places where I could do with some "meta-content".

By meta-content I mean content about content, like the couple of short paragraphs that summarize recent posts for a tag, or the outro text that now appears at the end of each post, along with the automatically generated Read Next recommendations that I added recently using ReadNext.

If you go look at the RSC tag, for example, you'll see a couple of paragraphs that summarize what I've written about regarding React Server Components recently. The list of article excerpts underneath it is a lot more approachable with that high-level summary at the top. Without the intro, the page just feels neglected and incomplete.

But the chances of me remembering to update that intro text every time I write a new post about React Server Components are slim to none. I'll write it once, it'll get out of date, and then it will be about as useful as a chocolate teapot. We need a better way. Ideally one that also lets me play by watching the AI stream automatically generated content before my very eyes:
