It’s been a while since the last update here, and I owe you an explanation. A lot has been happening under the hood, so I’m starting short weekly updates to keep you in the loop without making you dig through git logs.
This week was mostly about trust. The site now checks itself before every release: every page has to be reachable, every link has to lead somewhere real, and every old address that people may have bookmarked or shared has to keep working. If something is broken, the change simply doesn’t go live until it’s fixed. The reason is simple — a glossary nobody can open is not a glossary at all, and I’d rather catch a mistake before you do.
Two things quietly disappeared this week. One was the ad script: it made the pages heavier and, frankly, they look better without it. The other was the old embedded search widget, a third-party box that slowed the page down and was never quite the right fit for this site. The pages load faster now, and that matters more than any shortcut the widget offered.
Last but not least, the glossary became a little more machine-friendly. The terms are now marked up so search engines and AI assistants can tell what each page is about and quote it correctly, and the site ships a plain-text map of itself (llms.txt) that makes it easy to point anyone — or anything — at the right term.
More next week.
