The one page allowed to talk shop
Colophon
Every other page on this site speaks in Luke's own voice. This one is the exception: how the site itself is put together, for anyone curious about the machinery.
How it's built
Plain files. No build step.
Every page is an ordinary HTML file with one shared stylesheet and a couple of small scripts, served by GitHub Pages exactly as they sit in the repository. There's nothing to install and nothing to compile: any page opens straight from the folder.
The repository
Every file, every commit, in the open.

The phased playbook this site is being built from, ground rules included.

What it holds itself to
Fast, honest, and yours.
Light by default
Self-hosted fonts, lazy-loaded images, zero third-party requests on load. Videos never autoplay a live player; you choose when to load one.
Honest labelling
Where something exists today, it's linked. Where it doesn't yet, the page simply describes it: no fake "coming soon" badges, no dead ends either.
Built in the open
Published before it was finished, on purpose, so the build itself is visible rather than saved for one big reveal.
Self-sovereign in practice
Where the site offers you a tool (like the markdown generators arriving with the Courses hub), it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you make there is sent anywhere.
