About Development

Tech Stack

Web pages are drafted in a plain-text editor using the Markdown markup language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown

The Markdown files are then converted to HTML using the Hugo framework. https://gohugo.io

This website uses the Relearn theme for Hugo, which provides the navigation bar and search box on the left (pull out on mobile), and also the various navigation tools along the top of the page. https://mcshelby.github.io/hugo-theme-relearn/index.html

Many of the charts and diagrams are made with the Mermaid tool. https://mermaid.js.org

About AI Use

The Techne System is currently being developed by a single person (Haphaestus) with limited resources and energy constraints. To make this possible, I use AI as a collaborative tool for drafting and research, while maintaining responsibility for all content decisions, quality standards, and accuracy.

I review all content personally for coherence, conceptual accuracy, and overall quality. Core concepts and frameworks are verified carefully. Examples and sources are selected based on reputation and spot-checked, but not exhaustively fact-checked. Given the scope of this project and my constraints, some errors are inevitable.

Early versions (0.1-0.9) are developmental—best-effort working drafts that will improve through community feedback. As the community grows, peer review and fact-checking will strengthen accuracy. I commit to correcting errors promptly when identified.

This material is educational guidance, not authoritative reference. For critical decisions (medical, legal, financial), consult qualified professionals and verify claims independently—as the material itself teaches you to do.

If you find errors, please report them through email hephaestus(dot)techne(at)proton.me or the community on Mastodon. All corrections will be acknowledged and implemented.
