Woodstar is AI-written, and the honest carbon ledger has two halves: what it cost to build the app (the AI tokens spent writing it) and what it costs to run it (one small box, every day). Building grows only as more AI development happens; running is ongoing and tiny. The factor band and honesty notes follow the Eleven Messenger carbon comparison, whose model this whole site borrows.

A running estimate of the CO₂e cost of the LLM tokens spent building Woodstar. Token counts are exact (summed from local Claude Code transcripts); the carbon conversion is an estimate with wide error bars, because no model provider publishes per-token figures — —. This grows only when more AI development happens.
That’s about the same CO₂e as, centrally:
Everything Woodstar serves — woodstar.app, its communities, and this status site — runs as one tenant on a shared server in AWS eu-west-1 (Ireland), alongside other apps. The estimate below is Woodstar's share, banded the same way as the build tally.
Assumes Woodstar's share of the shared server draws 2–6 W (central 4 W) including host overhead, PUE 1.1–1.4 (central 1.2), and an Irish grid at 250–450 g CO₂e/kWh (central 300). Re-checked by hand whenever the infrastructure changes — there are no per-tenant power readings to poll.
