I'm not a coder, and I built DataCenterDialog.com, a nonpartisan data center site in about three days with Claude. It tracks 900+ U.S. data centers on a clickable map and covers news, laws, hearings, public filings, and opinions from supporters and skeptics side by side. It's for anyone who wants facts about data centers, with every fact linked to its original source.

1. I described the goal in plain English: one place for nonpartisan facts about data centers, with every fact linked to its source.
2. Claude built the pages: a Tracker with a clickable map and photos, plain-language Facts with charts, News, Legislation, a hearings Calendar, a Document Library, and Opinion pairs that give supporters and skeptics equal space. That matches the site’s own wording, which avoids “both sides.”
3. I set a few rules once, such as always saying “supporters” and “skeptics,” never “critics” and showing every estimate when sources disagree. Claude follows them on every update.
4. Claude walked me through each setup step, including storing the site on GitHub, hosting it on Cloudflare, and sending email with Resend.
5. Scheduled Claude tasks collect and summarize new data center news four times a day, update the status of bills, and research Tracker sites, largest first.
6. Anything sensitive, like lawsuits or allegations, and every page change waits for my one-click approval on a private admin page.
7. Readers can sign up for daily email alerts about up to three counties they choose, plus a weekly newsletter.

A research team would need weeks to build this, and full-time staff to keep it current. Now I review and approve instead of writing.
