This is a short route into the longer stories on davidpelayo.com. The selected articles look behind the finished product and describe the decisions, constraints and engineering problems involved in building it. Start with the Podhoc build story for an AI podcast production pipeline, or the Crosswire story for a news comparison service.
Each story links back to its project page, where the current product and its capabilities are described. The articles index includes every piece of writing, beyond this small selection. These featured links are editorial choices rather than a ranking of all projects on the site.
Two ways to read each story
The project records describe what a product does and where to find it. The featured articles explain what it took to build a particular version of that product. Starting with the project helps if you want a quick answer about its purpose. Starting with the article helps if you are interested in design decisions, technical constraints and what changed during development.
Both products have continued to evolve, so a dated build story may describe an earlier architecture or interface. The Crosswire project and Podhoc project give the product context for the articles selected below.
