Hi, I make The Noggenfogger News, a roleplay newspaper for World of Warcraft written by players, for players. Every issue is full of stories, rumours, classified ads and upcoming events sent in by the community.

I'm a developer by trade (SQL, ASP.NET, Python and the usual HTML and CSS), and this started as an experiment: could I build a whole project by directing an AI instead of writing the code myself, in languages I don't normally use? The website and Discord bot run on Node.js and the addon is written in Lua, neither of which I'd worked in before. I came up with the design, made the decisions and tested everything, and the AI wrote the code. The result is the website at noggenfogger.news, an in-game addon that lets you read the paper without leaving Azeroth, and a Discord bot that handles submissions, photo contests and event channels. It turned into a lot more than a learning project.

Everything is free. If you've enjoyed an issue, laughed at a classified ad, or seen your character in print, a coffee helps cover the server costs and keeps new features coming. Thank you for reading!
