Files in root

• Makefile : run make to build all components from source
• Caddyfile : Caddy configuration, to be moved to starship

Keep in mind, 95% of these locations have a README, so READTHEM.

Design

The philosphy and insipiration are in design/ideas and there are some krita scribbles in the design folder as well. design/technical follows the technical side of the project, with the software (I will be writing my own static site generator!) and webdev stuff going there, and design/art will follow the artistic side of site design. If I ever get this running on hardware I own I'll make a page for that aswell.

Licensing

The raw code for this site sits under the Nonviolent Public License, and the content (anything other than raw source code, so art, text, music, etc.) is under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license.
