Uses

A running colophon of the tools and stack behind this site, theFloret apps, and the infrastructure they run on. The throughline: open, self-hostable standards, and as little reliance on third-party services as I can manage.

This website

• Built with Astro — a static site, no client-side framework, content authored as Markdown in the repo.
• Typefaces are Interand JetBrains Mono, self-hosted via Fontsource — no Google Fonts CDN, so no third-party request on page load.
• Analytics is self-hosted Umami: cookieless, no cross-site tracking, no personal profiles. See theDatenschutzerklärung for what that means.
• Icons from Iconify (Material Design Icons + Simple Icons).

The Floret apps

• Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, designed in Material 3 Expressive.
• No reinvented sync stack — each app is a front-end over a platform provider (CalendarContract, the OpenTasksTaskContract) and open standards like CalDAV, iCalendar, and DecSync.
• A shared design system, floret-kit, wired in as a git submodule via a Gradle composite build — no published artifacts, so every app stays reproducible.
• Released on F-Droid, MIT-licensed, zero telemetry.

Self-hosted infrastructure

Code, translations, builds, and this site all run on infrastructure I host myself.

• Gitea for source hosting and as the home for smaller experiments.
• Weblate for community translations of the apps.
• Coolify to build and deploy this site.
• Umami for the privacy-respecting analytics above.
