99ersstudio

A note about the implementation behind 99ersstudio.com. We keep this page honest because the site itself is part of the studio's public work.

Framework

Framework
Next.js 16.2 with the App Router and React 19, exported as static HTML.
Styling
Tailwind CSS v4 with CSS-variable-driven design tokens. No typography plugin.
MDX
next-mdx-remote/rsc with rehype-pretty-code (shiki, github-dark-dimmed) for syntax highlighting at build time.
Search
Pagefind 1.5 — wasm full-text index built post-next-build, lazy-loaded only when ⌘K opens.

Display + body
Geist Sans, served via next/font, single weight range, ss01 / ss02 / cv01 / cv02 features on.
Mono
Geist Mono, used for chips, kbd elements, code, and metric numerals.
Color tokens
Deep blue primary (#1e3a8a), warm orange accent (#f97316), monochrome base, swap via prefers-color-scheme.
No third-party fonts
Two Geist faces only. No web font CDN call beyond what next/font self-hosts.

Static host
Cloudflare Pages, auto-deploy on push to main. Build command: next build && pnpm pagefind:index.
DNS + email
Cloudflare Registrar + DNS + Email Routing ([email protected] → real inbox).
TLS
Cloudflare-managed, auto-renewed.
Analytics
Plausible scaffold present (cookieless, aggregate). Off until the self-host instance exists.

Generator
Python 3.12, 12 Jinja2 templates, four data sources (git log, Google Play reviews, RSS feeds, SEOMAX bridge).
Quality gate
35 banned phrases, em-dash cap, EN+DE first-person counter, per-type length bounds, version + proper-noun checks.
LLM call
Local Claude Code CLI (Max subscription) by default. Falls back to Anthropic API when STUDIO_LOG_USE_CLAUDE_CLI=0.
Header art
Procedural SVG (mulberry32-seeded) per post type. Optional DALL-E gpt-image-1 path swaps in PNGs at /public/journal-images/.
Cron
Windows Task Scheduler runs run_local_cron.ps1 daily, rotating post types by day of week, --AutoCommit pushes to main.

Page weight
All routes static-rendered. Largest JS chunk shipped: the search dialog, lazy-loaded only when opened.
No client framework on most pages
Server Components do the rendering; client components only where interaction needs it (search, ToC scroll-spy, copy button, keyboard shortcuts, Mietpreis demo, reading progress).
Images
next/image not in use yet — current images are the OG PNGs and procedural SVG art served as inline elements.
Caching
_headers pins long-term immutable on /journal/*/opengraph-image, 1h on /feed.xml and /sitemap.xml.

Built by
99ersstudio (one developer, occasional contractor help).
Build assistant
Claude Code on the Max subscription — most of the code and content in this site was paired with the model. No API billing.
Inspiration
Panic, Plausible, Maggie Appleton's notebook, Marco Arment, Derek Sivers' /now movement, uses.tech.
