Acknowledgements
Flowers, given.
Nothing here grew in a vacuum. These are the people and things this site stands on, thanked on purpose, in public, and while everyone can still smell the flowers.
Christoph Niemann
Every illustration on this site descends from long afternoons with his work, and from the discovery that line and wit can carry an entire identity. The hand here is mine. He opened the door.
Devouring Details
Rauno Freiberg's prototypes taught this site how to move. The blur reveal on the navigation is his mechanism, studied closely and rebuilt with gratitude.
Linear
Proof that software design can be quiet, precise, and still full of feeling. Their bar is the one I keep checking mine against.
Juspay
Five years, one seat at the machine. Juspay is where I learned payments, launches, and what a brand can carry. Most of the receipts on this site were earned there.
Aditya Kulkarni
My mentor. He taught me how payments actually work, then let me help his knowledge travel further than either of us expected.
Akira Toriyama and John Oliver
The homepage says this site runs on them, and it does. One showed me that drawing can be joyful and precise at once. The other, that an argument lands hardest when it is funny.
The first Apple logo
The footer's Newton is a hat tip to the 1976 mark: Newton under the tree, an apple about to fall. A logo so patient it was replaced within a year. I have been trying to give it more time.
The maintainers
Twenty-two open-source projects took pull requests from a stranger and reviewed them with care. Code review is a quiet act of generosity, and I received a lot of it.
And to anyone who scrolled far enough to read an acknowledgements page: you are exactly the kind of visitor this site was built for.
