LAB NOTE No.0022025.08.16Development
Needed a place to house the experiments. So on August 16, 2025, I built the Park Labs website in a day.
If you're going to run experiments, you need somewhere to record and share the results. Notion or a blog would've worked, but since Park Labs itself is an experiment, I decided to build the site myself. So this is experiment number one.
Table 1
| Item | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Framework | Next.js 15 App Router | React-based. Build it with SSG and you get a static site, so hosting costs are close to zero |
| Design | Tailwind CSS + glassmorphism | Black background with translucent cards. I wanted that "laboratory" feel |
| Experiment cards | 8 | Put them all up for now, including ones that are still just ideas |
| Hosting | Cloudflare Pages | Free hosting. Costs stay minimal for a one-person lab |
I got the site up in a day, but my lack of design experience shows in a lot of places. I went with glassmorphism because it looked cool, though I'm not sure it isn't too much. It works for now, so I'll start here and fix things as I go.
The site's built, so now I need to get the first real service ready. There's a fortune-telling service called FortuneToday already running on WordPress, and I'm still figuring out what to do with it.
