How it's built
Every tool has one job.
Grok decides, Cursor does, GitHub remembers, Cloudflare publishes, Hetzner keeps it running. Context carries from one to the next instead of getting lost between them.
- 01GrokThink and decidePlans the work, talks it through and keeps the thread.
- 02CursorWrite the codeTurns decisions into branches and pull requests.
- 03GitHubKeep the recordEvery change, review and decision lives in a repo.
- 04CloudflarePublishPages hosts the sites; every branch gets its own preview.
- 05HetznerKeep it runningAlways-on services: game servers, bots and monitors.
- 06DiscordMeet the peopleWhere communities and the bots actually talk.

What it's written in
Languages.
Share of all the code, pulled from GitHub every day.
TypeScript 35%
TypeScript is JavaScript with types added: you label what kind of data each value holds, and mistakes are caught before the code runs. It compiles to plain JavaScript, so it runs anywhere JavaScript does. It is used for web apps, servers and tools that grow big enough to need guard rails.
HTML 28%
HTML is the markup that gives a web page its structure: headings, paragraphs, links, images and forms. It is not a programming language; it describes what is on the page. Every website starts with it.
JavaScript 18%
JavaScript is the programming language built into every web browser. It makes pages interactive: buttons, forms, live updates and games. It also runs on servers and in small edge functions.
Java 14%
Java is a long-established language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine, so the same program runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. It is used for large business systems, Android apps and game servers such as Minecraft's. It is strict about types, which helps big projects stay reliable.
CSS 2.7%
CSS controls how a web page looks: colors, fonts, spacing and layout. The same HTML can look completely different with different CSS. It is also how pages adapt from phones to big screens.
Python 1.2%
Python is a general-purpose language known for being easy to read. It is popular for scripts and automation, data work, AI and back-end services. A few lines of Python can replace a lot of manual work.
Other 1.0%
Smaller languages that each make up less than 1% of the code.
- PowerShell PowerShell is Microsoft's command-line shell and scripting language. Learn
- Shell Shell scripts are lists of terminal commands saved in a file, usually run by Bash. Learn
- C# C# is Microsoft's main general-purpose language, used for Windows apps, web back ends and Unity games. Learn
- VBScript VBScript is one of the languages in the code. Learn
- PLpgSQL PL/pgSQL is PostgreSQL's built-in language for writing logic inside the database itself, such as functions and triggers. Learn
- Batchfile Batch files are the classic Windows command scripts (.bat or .cmd). Learn

Before anything ships
The same checks, on every change.
Each project runs these against its live preview. A failure blocks the merge.

- Errors, a11y, weightNo console or security-policy errors, no serious accessibility problems, light pages.
- Private-name scanPublic files, live pages and headers are scanned. A hit blocks the change.
- Leaked-key scanEach change and the live pages are scanned for passwords and API keys.
- Links and assetsAny broken link, image or script is flagged; outside links weekly.
- Security headersHeaders, robots.txt and sitemap are confirmed on every deploy.
