About slopnotes

What this is

slopnotes is where I keep the learning material I generate with AI.

The way I learn new things now: instead of sitting through hours of videos and documentation, I spawn a handful of research agents and have them survey a topic for me — in my taste, in the format I like to read, with plenty of examples. I end up with a stack of documents, then convert them into the clean, searchable pages you see here (Markdown / MDX).

Why it’s called slop

Because that’s what it is, and I’d rather be honest about it. This isn’t a high-effort, meticulously-cited project — it’s a fast, low-effort way to get started on a new topic or technology.

I don’t always know the exact source behind every detail, and I won’t claim it’s 100% correct — it’s right maybe 99% of the time. But the results are good. For how I like to learn, it beats ~95% of the material already out there. That’s enough for me.

How it is organized

Each topic is a course — a folder under src/content/docs/. Every Markdown or MDX file inside becomes a page, and src/config/sidebar.json groups them in the navigation. Browse what’s here from the Courses page.

How it is built

slopnotes is built on Astro and Starlight. Branding and navigation are driven by JSON files in src/config/, and styling lives in src/config/theme.json and src/styles/global.css.
