Step out

A fire on the hill, five minutes on stage, a sky full of stars, a swim before anyone’s awake. Each poster here came from the sentence under it: open one, change a word, make it yours.

What Zostels run, week after week

Card games, mafia, foosball, a sunset walk, a trek at dawn: the events the hostels run most, each made into a poster from one sentence, at the places where they happen. Keep scrolling for more; open one and make it yours.

For agents

The same few words make the same poster anywhere: a sentence, a link, a JSON file, or one command. Type is measured and fitted, colours follow the roundel rule, the mark and LIVE IT. NOW are always there: an agent can’t make it off-brand.

One sentence, three posters

Quick mode reads the words with no AI; the same sentence and clock give the same posters.

node zostel-showcase/scripts/poster.mjs --say 'bonfire at manali friday story'

In the browser: await window.__poster.compose('open mic in jaipur') returns what it understood and three posters, each with its spec, reason, pieces, confidence and link. The vocabulary: /posters/catalogue.json. A link with ?say= fills the bar and runs quick mode.

Every poster is a link
