Colophon

~/ the press

Built with Astro, deployed on Vercel. The site is static HTML and CSS with two small scripts: one drives scroll reveals and the theme toggle, one paints the contribution ledger. No client framework ships to this page. Push to master is the printing press — every deploy is a new edition, stamped in the footer with the exact commit it was printed from.

~/ the type

Headlines and body are set in Space Mono and Courier Prime — both open type under the SIL Open Font License. Monospace everywhere is a deliberate constraint: one voice, terminal-honest, no decorative typefaces smuggled in for the hero.

~/ the ink

Cream paper, terracotta ink, in light and dark editions. The contribution ledger uses a five-step terracotta ramp validated programmatically against both surfaces — monotonic lightness, colorblind-checked adjacency, exact counts in every cell's tooltip so color is never the only channel.

~/ the wire

The ledger is live. A serverless function on this origin reads the public GitHub contributions page, validates every field, and edge-caches for an hour. Nothing on this site is a hand-maintained number pretending to be live — anything that looks like data is either generated at build time from source, or fetched through that function.

~/ security

Strict Content-Security-Policy: scripts and data connections are allowed from this origin only — no third-party scripts, embeds, or trackers, ever. Frames denied, MIME sniffing off, referrers trimmed. Open the network tab; the site talks to itself.

~/ the reference desk

The desk at /ask answers questions about the record — a language model grounded in the same data files that print every edition. It cites its sections, refuses what it cannot source, and speaks only in the third person. It also answers from the terminal:

$ curl -X POST https://cooperanderson.dev/api/ask \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -d '{"question":"does he ship?"}'

~/ editions

Web edition at cooperanderson.dev. Print editions as one-page PDFs, designed and ATS-plain. Text edition for the terminal:

$ curl -L cooperanderson.dev

All editions are generated from the same data files. When one updates, they all do.
