The compass for every route.
PLACEHOLDER — App Router, server components and streaming for fast first paint; route handlers for small backends; every section of this site is a deep-linkable route.
Components as small machines.
PLACEHOLDER — Composition over configuration, state close to where it's used, and accessibility built in from the first prop.
Measure twice, ship once.
PLACEHOLDER — Strict mode everywhere, types as documentation, and schema-validated edges (zod) so runtime and compile time agree.
A prism of utilities.
PLACEHOLDER — Design tokens as CSS variables, utilities for speed, and small hand-written CSS where the design needs it.
Light, geometry, patience.
PLACEHOLDER — React Three Fiber for scene structure, custom shaders for the look, and a quality governor that keeps frame rate honest.
Tiny programs that paint light.
PLACEHOLDER — Sky, clouds, aurora and snow are shaders; noise, raymarching and a lot of tweaking sliders.
Springs, not tweens.
PLACEHOLDER — Physical, interruptible motion for the interface; calmer, reduced variants for people who ask for them.
The quiet foundation.
PLACEHOLDER — Drizzle for typed queries, migrations in version control, SQLite locally and Postgres in production.
