A small list, because the operation is small. Most of what you read is the work of one editor, with occasional guest contributors and a careful selection of tools.

Tech stack
Status: Current Beta Watching
Framework
Astro 7, static output. No server, no database. Every page is pre-rendered HTML.
CurrentPublishing
Content lives as Markdown & JSON files in the repo, validated by a Zod schema and a pre-publish check. No admin panel. A small Node pipeline assists with research, images, and citations.
CurrentHosting
Coolify (self-hosted) on an OVHcloud server in Warsaw, Poland.
CurrentSource & deploy
GitHub repository. Build produces a static bundle deployed via Coolify.
CurrentSearch
Pagefind, a static search index built at deploy time. No external service.
CurrentFonts & media
Self-hosted (Inter, JetBrains Mono). Images are stored in the repo. No request on load goes to a company other than us: the only host besides this one is our own analytics server. No ad network runs here either, because display space is sold directly.
CurrentAI helpers
Editorial pipeline uses OpenRouter (research + image generation) as a manual pre-build step. Cover and inline illustrations are AI-generated and labeled as such.
BetaAnalytics
Kehai, our own analytics product, on our own server in Warsaw. It sets no cookie, stores nothing on your device, and cannot see you on any other site, which is why this one does not ask you about cookies. What we count, in full.
LiveNewsletter
Double opt-in via Resend (Ireland/EU data region). We store your email only while you are subscribed, and you can unsubscribe from any issue.
LiveDesign system
Every token, component and editorial device is documented in the style guide, which loads the same stylesheets the site does, so it cannot drift from what you are reading.
CurrentTypography
- Body & display
- Inter (Rasmus Andersson, 2016).
- Mono
- JetBrains Mono.
- Type scale
- Custom, 8-point baseline. See style guide.
- Brand mark
- Custom wordmark with indigo accent (#3C3FDE).
