/* THANKS */

  To the U.S. military and the SOF community.
  Some of you taught me to think under pressure. Some of you taught me
  what good work actually looks like when nobody is watching. Some of
  you came home, some did not. I carry that mindset with me. Thank you.

  To the Palantir team I worked with.
  You handed me real problems, real data, and real expectations, and
  you did not flinch when I made mistakes. The skills I used to build
  BrassTracker -- thinking in models, sweating the edge cases, treating
  a CSV like a primary source -- I learned by sitting next to you. I
  am grateful for the chance.

  To the handloading forums and the writers behind them.
  Decades of careful, anonymous, unpaid notes. Half the field guide on
  this site exists because somebody on a forum, twelve years ago, took
  the time to explain ES vs SD to a stranger. I tried to honor that.

  To the early TestFlight readers.
  You filed bugs. You called out bad copy. You shot loads in weather I
  would not drive in. You kept me honest.


/* SITE */

  Frontend:    Hand-written HTML, CSS. No framework, no analytics.
  Build:       Python (markdown only). 38 pages, ~250 KB on the wire.
  Hosting:     Cloudflare Pages.
  Fonts:       System (San Francisco on Apple, Segoe / Roboto / DejaVu elsewhere).
  Bench:       Opened April 2026. See the footer.
  Eggs:        Ten of them, hidden in plain sight. The crayon on /learn/
               is the only one with a visible hint. The other nine want
               you to be the kind of person who reads humans.txt files.


/* APP */

  Platform:    iOS 17+, built in Swift / SwiftUI.
  Storage:     SwiftData, local-first, opt-in iCloud sync.
  Servers:     None for the app itself. The marketing site is the
               only server-side component, and it serves static files.


/* COVENANT */

  No telemetry on this page.
  No tracking pixels.
  No third-party scripts.
  No accounts required to use the app.
  These will not change.
