🪶 The site itself

Colophon

How this site is built, where it lives, and who built it. In keeping with the workshop-that-compounds philosophy: the meta layer is transparent.

Stack

Astro 5.x

Static-site generator. Zero JS by default; pages are HTML + CSS; tiny inline scripts where motion needs them.

Utility classes. Custom palette extends the default with corvid/Tokyo-Night colors (ink / slate / mist / feather / plume / cyan / amber / accent).

Auto-generates /sitemap-index.xml at build time. Weekly changefreq, priority 0.7.

Loaded from Google Fonts with preconnect + display=swap. Inter for body; JetBrains Mono for code + metadata pills.

Bun 1.x

Runtime for `bun install` + `bun run build`. Faster than npm; matches the broader CorvidLabs web convention.

Source: The corvidlabs-site repo is private during polish. Flips public alongside the v1 launch story.
Build + Deploy: GitHub Actions on self-hosted macOS ARM64 runners.
Hosting: GitHub Pages serving from the private repo (CorvidLabs Team plan enables this).
Custom domain: Pending. corvidlabs.xyz currently serves the Nevermore NFT site (Angular SPA on an nginx VPS). Migration: move Nevermore to nevermore.corvidlabs.xyz, point apex → GitHub Pages, flip astro.config.mjs `base` to empty. Everything else is automatic. The codebase is BASE_URL-aware.
Content source: Hand-lifted from the CorvidLabs/_notes Obsidian vault (Architecture/strategy.md, Projects/Projects.md, Team/*).

Leif (@0xLeif)

Owner. Architecture, code, copy, palette.
Tofu

Brand direction. The pixel-art raven mark is the canonical CorvidLabs logo.
Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context)

AI pair-programming throughout. Most of the Astro + Tailwind scaffolding came together in a multi-hour interview-and-build session.
