We're not software developers, designers or have good ideas of our own. If it wasn't because other people's amazing work, vision, and good taste which is so hard to find in "the software circles", that they have chosen to share with the world, everything we host would be straight up plagiarism.

This amount of services we host has grown too large to identify where something is anymore, so expect this list to be incomplete a little vague. It doesn't mean we value the author's work less that other authors'; it could in fact mean we're so dependent on it that it has become an unfathomable notion going without it, so we just don't have such notion. Case in point (and this is going to be the first thank you in the list just so we don't forget) is…

When you think about "wiki" the first second thing that comes to mind, is DokuWiki, granted MediaWiki (the software that runs Wikipedia) is bigger, but it is because it runs Wikipedia.

DokuWiki is easier to use, ultra portable because it doesn't need a database, it has a very clean presentation out of the box. To find an example of site we host using DokuWiki, we developed one very cool trick: squint with your eyes (not yet) until it's hard to read or you can't read at all, but you can still see shapes and colors, then scroll the page a little down, just a few lines (using two fingers on the trackpad, the wheel on the mouse, or the bar on the side of the window) until you see a blurry blue box come into view. When you see the blue box, open your eyes again and a DokuWiki site will magically appear in your screen. Got it? Okay, squint and scroll… NOW! ↓

Yeah, okay. Maybe it wasn't a good trick, thought, if you fell for it, wouldn't you say you were tricked?

As we were saying… DokuWiki is very popular, it's likely more popular than MediaWiki if you don't count Wikipedia. The lack of database requirement makes it very resilient as it can be moved from server to server in a flash drive without a lengthy setup. Not even a big flash drive either, it just needs a web server with PHP—which is something most NAS units have preinstalled out of the box. This is among the main reasons special care will be given to document things documented somewhere else despite duplicating the work, having to generalize speech, etc. if it means it stands a better chance to be preserved.

Usually, the only thing more important than this, is the software needed to display it. Also known as fonts, font faces, font collections…

There are a few we're using, they're all licensed to be used freely commercially, or in our case, not. You can always download the assets from a page, to find out more information, we're not knowingly using any technique DRM-like obfuscation technique, though if you find any please let us know to get rid of it.

Need an example? Look at the headings on this site. We don't remember were this one came from.

Found on FontSquirrel, it's the general font used on this site. https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/sinkin-sans

We're not using exactly this one any longer because we it had one tiny, literally tiny but enormous flaw: the uppercase i had a dot in it. That's unacceptable even if your handwriting arbitrarily mixes upper and lowercase letters. However, it was edited to fix (what for us was a) the problem and it's currently in use with the same same and credited to the same author, only in the asset itself as this might be undesirable for the author. https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/folks-light

The only serif font you're likely to see around, which has not yet been put to use anywhere, but be sure we're planning to. Only in its italic form, though.
