🦤 Shoebill Museum Development Log #001 We are not building a site. We are building a museum.

Hello everyone✨
How are you doing❓

At my home, we have finally started using the air conditioner.

Until last year, I was caring for Meju-maman at home, so I was very careful about temperature control.

Meju-maman is currently hospitalized in a long-term care ward.
Even though the caregiving has ended, I visit her frequently.

Just being able to see her face makes me happy✨

One day, while I was playing around with ChatGPT, the conversation took an unexpected turn.

I became able to quickly build a site with ChatGPT, and I created a site as a concierge for my personal note, but...

In the process, I thought, maybe I should use a museum-like top page...🧐✨

At first, I just felt like, "I'll build a Shoebill Museum site."

But as I proceeded with the design with the AI, I realized one thing.

This isn't a homepage...
I am designing the museum itself✨✨

So the first thing I needed to do wasn't to arrange the exhibits.

It was to properly build the building‼️

The first thing completed was the entrance hall.

From there, the corridors leading to the permanent exhibition room, specimen room, encyclopedia reading room, and wetland archive room.

The exhibition rooms are still mostly empty😅💦

But I think that's fine.

Because even in a real museum, not all the exhibits are lined up on the day the building is completed💕︎

This time, what I decided after consulting with the AI was,

That's the approach 👍

At first, I was greedy and thought, 'It's a hassle, so I'll just build it all at once.'

But there's too much information that way, and neither the AI nor humans would be able to organize it all 💦

As a former user of Homepage Builder, I've already learned from experience that if you don't keep a handle on site management, you'll pay for it later~ 🤣💦

So,

Today, just the permanent exhibition room.

Next time, the specimen room.

The time after that, the reference library.

In that way, I've decided to grow the entire museum while carefully finishing one room at a time 🤭✨

This way of thinking is a bit similar to the 'Nukadoko (rice bran bed) Declaration'.

Rather than aiming for a finished product all at once,

create a system that grows.

Every time an exhibition room is added, this museum will grow a little bit more.

So, what was completed today wasn't an exhibition.

The framework.

I put up the pillars, connected the corridors, and gave the rooms names.

And with that, the entrance hall is done, and the first exhibition room is now open.

Just as a real museum gradually increases its exhibits, I will grow this site one room at a time.

If you'd like, please come visit the current Shoebill Museum🦤

From here on out, I plan to breathe life into it one room at a time😊

Welcome to the museum, which is still under construction.
