meet tofu 🐶 - a pixel corgi that lives on my shipped work, dies on my laziness, and can haunt me forever (probably). built under 48 hours. go visit while he's alive: https://tofu-hark.zocomputer.io/

tofu is a personal website with consequences.

pixel-art corgi. health bar wired to github and linear. every hour of silence drains him, live, in front of anyone watching. as health drops the scene shifts cooler and dimmer.

below 20%, any visitor clicks "generate shame." zo's llm writes a meme using my exact idle hours and last commit. memegen renders it. posts to discord. my phone buzzes.

when he hits zero: eulogy, tombstone on /graveyard. 50 flowers from strangers and he comes back from an egg.

tofu talks to visitors continuously - zo llm reads his health, idle time, the hour, whether you've been before. at 3am: "it's 3am and we're both still here."

zo-native: zo llm (minimax 2.7) · zo native database · zo sms connected: github · linear · letterboxd + tmdb · memegen api 48 hours. 14 animation states. 3 live environments.

the creative vision:

most personal websites are finished before you visit. i wanted one that changes based on whether i'm working.

two worlds on purpose: the main site is a game hud - 8-bit pixel art, press start 2p, 14 animation states. the graveyard is victorian - playfair epitaphs, collective resurrection. deliberately different planets.

the shame mechanic works because it's specific, not clever. zo llm knows my exact idle hours and last ticket. generic shame bounces off. specific shame doesn't.

zo native throughout - llm, database, sms. this is what personal computing looks like when the infrastructure gets out of the way. :: :: ::

This is the first personal website I've actually bookmarked to check on!

Here is how I used Fuser to create a non-existent Supreme x The Monkey campaign along with interactive web site assets for users. Let's be honest, if you have ever seen that monkey- it creeps anyone out. I had the perfect idea to mix it with Supreme because they are known for "weird" collabs of this sort. I created a jacket design by hand and built a whole photoshoot campaign along with web site assets around it ready for launch. Tools used inside Fuser: compositor nodes, creative code nodes, prompt nodes, image generation nodes. Would you wear this? To be honest- I would Black or blue, what is your pick? Workflow link: here

Nice!
