## What this site is

Personal OS for Chirag Singhal — an "engineer's instrument bench." A public, static dashboard that aggregates and instruments a working life: professional portfolio and open-source work, a full media library, live coding activity, and personal life stats. Everything is public, free, and needs no account. No backend, no login, no tracking wall.

Tagline: "I build the systems you never see fail."

Chirag Singhal is a software engineer building backend and AI infrastructure — Python services, event pipelines, RAG systems — and instruments everything he makes. This site is the readout: work, open source, and the feeds of a day.

## Home

The home page shows a live channel readout: coding time over the last 7 days (WakaTime), GitHub repository count, Last.fm scrobbles, films logged (Trakt), and current Discord presence (Lanyard). Live now-playing track and recently watched films surface when data is present. Primary calls to action: "Trace the work" (projects) and Résumé.

## Connect

- Links: social and contact links in one place.
- Contact: how to reach Chirag.
- Sign in: optional oriz SSO — one account works across every oriz site. Public content stays free and needs no account.

## How it works (technical)

- Built with Astro (static output) and React 19 islands, styled with Tailwind.
- Data pulled from roughly 30 provider APIs at build time into static JSON files (public/data/*.json). No runtime backend.
- Providers include GitHub, WakaTime, Last.fm, ListenBrainz, Trakt, TMDB, and Lanyard (Discord presence), among others. Each fetcher skips gracefully when its API key is absent.
- Installable PWA via @vite-pwa/astro: the static shell is precached for offline use; /data and cross-origin requests are network-only so live stats are never served stale.
- AI features (Digital Twin, Ask) use @chirag127/oz-ai, a client-side AI wrapper (g4f-based) — runs in the browser, no server key required.
- Optional oriz SSO uses Clerk, but is only a shared sign-in surface; all content is public without it.
- Hosted on Cloudflare Pages. A scheduled GitHub Actions workflow refreshes the data snapshots.
