    Design, writing, code and the duck: one person. If something on this
    site is wrong, there is nobody else to blame for it.


/* SITE */

    Standards                HTML5, CSS3, ECMAScript
    Language                 English
    Framework                Next.js 15 (App Router)
    UI                       React 19, TypeScript, MUI 7 + Emotion
    Motion                   framer-motion
    Content                  JSON in src/data, validated with zod at build
                             time; long-form write-ups in Markdown
    Chatbot                  Ducky answers questions about this site using
                             BM25 retrieval over that same content — plain
                             lexical search, no vector store, no embeddings
    Rendering                Every page prerendered; exactly one route runs
                             per request
    Editor                   VS Code

    The full colophon, with the reasoning behind each of those, is at /quack.


/* THANKS */

    To the maintainers of Next.js, React, MUI, Emotion and framer-motion,
    none of whom know this site exists.

    To whoever started the humans.txt convention, for the reminder that a
    website is made by people and not by a stack.

    To everyone who reported a bug, argued with an architecture decision, or
    sat through a demo at 3am before a hackathon deadline.

    And to the duck, who does not know it is a duck.
