It’s funny how the biggest milestones,
**sometimes **feel the quietest.
Yesterday I launched the first proper,
dedicated website for PC_Workman! https://huckler2003.github.io/PC_Workman_HCK/
Not *a quick GitHub README.
**Not *scattered links.
**A real home. One place where everything lives.
The why, the how, the story, the comparison, the AI, the future.
And honestly?
`I’ve never felt anything quite like this before.
Back in school: Websites were just assignments
In technical high school (IT Specialist profile),
I built full websites.
PHP + MySQL backend **
**Clean CSS layouts (pre-Tailwind era)
Vanilla JavaScript interactions`
They looked good. They worked.
Teachers gave me top grades.
But they were always „for school”.
Exercises. Deadlines. Nothing that mattered to real people.
Even the few free gigs I did later (friends, small businesses) felt temporary.
„Make page, upload, forget.” Nothing ever felt like mine.
Then came PC_Workman
This project changed everything.
It wasn’t a task.
It wasn’t a favor.
It was born from frustration, necessity, and hundreds of nights when I had no other choice but to keep going.
680+ hours coded.
4 complete rebuilds.
A laptop hitting 94°C every session.
Warehouse shifts in Netherlands, then getting fired 3 days before Christmas.
Through all that chaos, PC_Workman became the one thing
I refused to abandon. But even with a working alpha, something felt incomplete.
Links everywhere: GitHub, X, Medium, Reddit.
People had to hunt to understand what it even was.
Yesterday I fixed that.
For the first time,
PC_Workman has a real home.
What’s inside (and why it feels different)
The site is simple, but intentional.
Clear explanation:
- what PC_Workman is, and why I believe it beats MSI Afterburner, HWMonitor, GPU Tweak (with a comparison table)
-hck_GPT – my AI assistant that doesn’t just show numbers,
but explains what they mean
-My real story – no marketing fluff, just raw truth
_(warehouse shifts, 94°C rebuilds, getting fired) _
-Technical deep-dives from Medium
FAQ answering every question I’ve seen or imagined
One-click access to newsletter, GitHub, X, everything
-Polish and English versions.
It’s not a polished marketing site.
It’s a declaration:
This is no longer just code on GitHub.
This is a project.
With a face. With a story. With a future.
The feeling I never had before
I’ve built dozens of websites.
But this is the first time I looked at the finished thing and thought:
„This belongs to something bigger than me.”
The site isn’t the goal anymore.
It’s the beginning of something that can grow, be discovered, be used, be *loved *(or roasted – I’m ready).
And yes – the domain is coming soon Quick visuals
I used to think building websites was about code.
Turns out it’s about giving your project a place to breathe.
A place where people can find it, understand it, feel it.
PC_Workman is no longer just my late-night obsession.
It’s starting to feel like something real.
If you’re building something too,
even if it’s messy,
solo, on dying hardware – keep going. SERIOUS!
Don’t stop.
The moment you give it a home…
everything changes.
Thanks for being here.
Feedback, roast, ideas – all welcome.
See you inside! :3
