Frequently asked questions

No. Every article, category and learning path is public. The site has no accounts at all; commenting goes through Disqus.

A series of articles meant to be read in order, sometimes split into parts. Each article in a path shows where it sits and links to the previous and next step. You can still read any single article on its own.

The articles started as notes for Indonesian readers, and many still are. The interface is in English so the site works for everyone who lands on it. The language of a post is visible in its first line.

Yes, at /rss.xml. It carries every published article, newest first.

The site follows your operating system by default. The sun and moon icon in the header forces light or dark, and that choice is remembered in your browser.

At the bottom of every article there is a Disqus thread. Sign in with Disqus, Google, X or Facebook there — or as a guest if the thread allows it — and write away.

Yes, from the comment itself or from your Disqus account. Comments live in Disqus, not on this site.

Astro, built into static pages and served by Cloudflare, with images on Cloudflare R2 and comments on Disqus. Articles are MDX files. There is no server code and no database.

The site itself records nothing about the pages you read and runs no ads; only aggregate traffic numbers from the host, Cloudflare, which identify no one. The Disqus comment section is the exception: it is a third-party service with its own cookies, loaded only when you scroll to it. The privacy policy has the details.

Quote it with a link, or translate a passage, freely. Republishing a whole article needs a quick e-mail first. Code samples may be used without restriction.
