DailyAnomaly
Project Overview
View the result here: https://dailyanomaly.com/
DailyAnomaly is an autonomous generative website that publishes a new fictional encyclopedia entry every day. Each page is procedurally generated using AI, deterministic randomness, and a semantic layout engine, resulting in unique yet structurally consistent documents.
The project combines AI-driven generation with automated deployment pipelines, version control, and server-side publishing. DailyAnomaly functions as a continuously evolving digital archive, where each entry represents an anomaly from a parallel knowledge system.
Key Features
- Daily AI-Generated Entries: A new anomaly is published automatically every day without manual intervention.
- Dynamic Visual Identity: Each page has a unique layout, typography, and color scheme derived from semantic metadata.
- Seed-Based Reproducibility: Pages can be regenerated or referenced using deterministic seeds.
- Archive System: Historical anomalies are preserved as static pages for long-term access.
- Fully Automated CI/CD Pipeline: From AI generation to live deployment with zero manual steps.
System Architecture
DailyAnomaly is built as a distributed system combining AI services, automation workflows, version control, and server infrastructure.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| AI Generation Layer | Generates structured JSON-based encyclopedia entries using OpenAI models. |
| Automation Engine (n8n) | Orchestrates daily content generation, formatting, and publishing workflows. |
| Semantic CSS Engine | Creates page layouts and visual themes based on metadata and anomaly level. |
| Version Control (GitHub) | Stores generated pages and acts as a deployment source. |
| Deployment Pipeline | Automatically pulls updates to a VPS using cron and Git. |
| Web Server (Nginx) | Serves the generated pages under the DailyAnomaly domain. |
