Project
Building Open Experiment Forge
A public workbench for the website itself: static-first, safe, and easy to expand.
Open Experiment Forge starts as its own first experiment: a website that can hold projects, notes, and guides without needing a complicated backend.
Goals
- Keep the public site static.
- Make writing new entries feel light.
- Separate projects, journal notes, and guides without splitting them into different systems.
- Add security headers from the start.
Current shape
The site uses Astro and TypeScript. Content lives in Markdown files under
src/content/entries, and frontmatter is validated during the build.
The first version avoids accounts, comments, forms, databases, and third-party scripts. Those can be added later if they become worth the extra responsibility.
