## What the artefact is
@@ -24,10 +24,16 @@ The templated builder: pick a template, build the site, publish it — with edit
Two things at once — depth in media pipelines (FFmpeg, ImageMagick, PDF and office formats, three.js) and the discipline of shipping a general product that strangers could operate without help.
## Why these exhibits are good code
The animation engine evaluates a named easing function to give each letter its delay, so the spacing of an animation follows the same curve as its motion instead of a guessed linear stagger. Both directions build from one transform object, which is what stops the two halves of the same effect drifting apart over years of edits.
The media pipeline checks the real MIME type before it builds a command, so a wrong input returns a message instead of a half-written file. The GIF encode takes two passes — a palette from the clip, then frames mapped onto it — which is the difference between a GIF that holds its colour and one that does not.
## Limits stated on the page
The surface was too large for one person to support indefinitely. The plan recorded here is to strip it back to signage plus the content engine and stop selling the rest, which is a decision about focus rather than a claim of failure.
The PHP is 2014-era procedural code: global state, interpolated shell commands, and long functions. The exhibit is here for the operational judgement, not as a model of structure. The surface was too large for one person to support indefinitely; the plan recorded here is to strip it back to signage plus the content engine and stop selling the rest, which is a decision about focus rather than a claim of failure.
