Attention Feed is a small collection of tools made by amac and run by Attention Feed, Inc. This page credits what they are built with.
Artwork
The cover art on every PEPList playlist, and the painting above, comes from the USDA Pomological Watercolor Collection: some 7,500 paintings of fruit varieties made for the United States Department of Agriculture between 1886 and 1942, mostly by a small group of artists including Deborah Griscom Passmore, Amanda Almira Newton, Mary Daisy Arnold, Royal Charles Steadman, and Ellen Isham Schutt. The collection is held by the National Agricultural Library and is in the public domain.
Design
- Baloo 2 by Ek Type for headings and the site title; Inter by Rasmus Andersson for body text; and IBM Plex Mono by IBM for navigation, labels, and code. All three are under the SIL Open Font License and are served from this site rather than from Google.
-
The Ben-Day dot pattern behind the header and footer, the
logo, and the shared header and footer components are our
own, shared across every project from
attentionfeed.com/shared.
Projects and what they run on
- This site is written in Markdown, built with Astro, and served by GitHub Pages. The recently-read books in the sidebar come from Hardcover at build time.
- Archive Live Dead is a Python FastAPI service with PostgreSQL, hosted on Railway. The recordings stream straight from the Grateful Dead collection at the Internet Archive, built on decades of work by the etree taping community. It is not affiliated with the band, etree, or the Archive.
- PEPList is a FastAPI service on Railway. Podcast search uses the Podcast Index API; episodes play from each publisher's own feed.
- The sign-in service is a FastAPI OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect provider on Railway, with passwords hashed using Argon2 and tokens signed with RSA keys.
- Booklist runs entirely in your browser on GitHub Pages, using JSZip and Papa Parse to read an Amazon export, with author lookups from Open Library.
- Locations also runs entirely in your browser on GitHub Pages, drawing maps with D3 and TopoJSON over boundaries from world-atlas, which derives from Natural Earth.
- BusWatch is a Kotlin and Jetpack Compose app for Wear OS. Stops and arrival times come from Transport for London's Unified API. Its source is on GitHub.
How it was made
Nearly all of the code across these projects was written with Claude Code and other AI coding tools. That is worth knowing before you trust any of it with something important; the Terms of Service say so too.
