What it is
A live view of recent visits plus a small history mode for recent hotspots.
Jason Eran / software, notes, and a slightly strange internet room
A personal site about things I build and things I keep thinking about.
I make software, write when I have something real to say, and still like websites that feel like they belong to a person. So this place is meant to be simple to enter: a bit of work, a bit of writing, and one vivid globe near the front so it does not all feel too static.
The globe
One lively thing near the front helps the site feel inhabited.
The globe is here because a single memorable object can say more than a paragraph of positioning. It shows short-lived visitor presence, not long-term tracking.
What it is not
Not analytics theater and not a profile of individual readers.
Soft-neon preview firstInteractive globe wakes up after the page settles.The page starts with a still preview and upgrades to WebGL when the browser has time.
Preview ready
Live visitor signalFresh visits stay here for a short window. If someone is still on the page, the site quietly refreshes their point so it does not disappear while they are obviously still here. Drag the globe if you want to stop the slow drift and look around.

A few focused case studies are more useful than a giant wall of claims.
Visitor Globe
A 3D globe that turns recent visits into ambient presence instead of analytics theater.
Poster-first loading, live and history modes, approximate geolocation, and a deliberately short memory window so the experience feels alive without feeling invasive.

Jason Eran Site System
The broader personal site system: static-first, searchable, and public-safe by design.
A fast Astro-based site with deliberate navigation, clear content lanes, and pages like About, Work, Uses, and Elsewhere that keep the person visible without oversharing.

Reader Loop
Search, resume reading, and sharing tools that help a quiet site stay usable.
A custom search index, keyboard-first search overlay, reading progress persistence, resume reading prompts, and small reader utilities that stay helpful without turning into dashboard chrome.

Open the archive Two pieces that sound the most like me.
If you only want a quick sense of my tone, these do the job better than a long homepage.
I take software seriously, not solemnly
Reliable systems matter more to me than performative seriousness. Humor, calm, and clear thinking can live in the same room.
Why I still like personal sites that feel like rooms
A short note on wanting this corner of the internet to feel more like a place you can step into than a feed you have to keep up with.

A site can be playful without becoming noisy
I like interfaces with a wink, but I trust the ones that know when to quiet down and let me stay.
Astro islands are a product choice, not just a framework feature
Treating hydration as a design constraint leads to cleaner reading experiences and a healthier performance budget.
