Site Standards & Transparency

This page outlines my standards for how this site is built, maintained, and what I strive for when sharing here. Think of it as the documentation for my digital laboratory.

Last updated: April 2026

Human Intelligence & AI Tools

I believe in a human-centric web, but I also believe in using the best tools available to bridge gaps in my skillset.

• Ideas & Editorial: Every idea, opinion, and article here reflects my thinking. I decide what to publish and how to frame it.
• Writing & Language: As a non-native English speaker, I use AI as a writing coach—helping me refine phrasing, catch grammar issues, and act as a first-pass reviewer before content goes live. The ideas and final edits are mine.
• Visual Assets: Hero images and my avatar are AI-generated. This lets me maintain visual consistency without the resources of a design team. Beyond those assets and language coaching support, technical guidance, demos, code examples, and original media are authored by me unless otherwise noted.

Identity & Verification

I support a decentralized internet. You can verify my identity through multiple methods:

• WebFinger & rel=me: My profile includes WebFinger endpoints and rel="me" links to verify my digital identity across platforms.
• Keytrace: I also publish identity proofs via Keytrace, which helps link my AT Protocol identity to other accounts and strengthen cross-platform proof of ownership.
• Experimental: I maintain a human.json file (still experimental; follow the spec for details).

Engineering Standards

This site is a training ground for modern web techniques.

• Progressive Enhancement: Core content works without JavaScript. While I experiment with modern CSS and HTML, the site degrades gracefully on older browsers.
• Performance: I minimize bloat and optimize for fast loads. No unnecessary tracking or heavy frameworks.
• Semantic HTML: Content is properly structured with semantic elements to support both humans and machines.

Privacy & Analytics

Privacy is part of the engineering baseline for this site.

• Tracking Cookies: This site does not set tracking or advertising cookies.
• Analytics: I rely on Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is designed as a privacy-first, cookie-free analytics solution.
• Security Cookie: You may see cf_clearance when Cloudflare's security suite is active. It is security-related, not an advertising or behavioral tracking cookie.

Editorial Updates & Corrections

• Transparency: Major article updates are clearly marked and dated.
• Corrections: Factual corrections are also marked and dated when applied.

Content Licensing

• Code: Source code and code examples are licensed under MIT.
• Content & Media: Written content and original media are licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0, unless otherwise noted.
• Third-Party Material: Third-party assets remain under their respective licenses and terms.

Security Reporting

If you discover a potential security issue, please follow the responsible disclosure process described in SECURITY.md.

Accessibility & Feedback

Inclusivity is a core spec of this dojo. I aim for WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance.

• Testing: I run automated accessibility checks on every build and manually test across keyboard navigation, screen readers, and various devices. I don't have resources for formal audits, so your feedback is critical.
• Known Gaps: As a sandbox for experiments, some cutting-edge features may not degrade perfectly on older browsers or assistive tech. I discover and fix these as they arise.
• Report Issues: If you encounter a barrier or bug, open an issue on GitHub. Your feedback is the peer review that helps me sharpen my craft.
