Project

Building Open Experiment Forge

A public workbench for the website itself: static-first, safe, and easy to expand.

  • website
  • astro
  • safety

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.
