Palm EngineA skeleton, a tree
First a vertical spine. Then horizontal organs at each vertex. That is how Palm Engine is grown.
Palm Engine Blog
Technical decisions behind Palm Engine, and the experiment of this blog.
Inbox and notify
What became new, not another snapshot. A cheap doorbell on the public path, one Queue for the expensive work, and a GET that still does not grow.
A second look
Reader flags, a cheap write-time policy, and a GET that does not grow. Hold-all and Workers AI stay off so the free tier stays green.
The admin console
A private operator console for one person. Stats, visitors, and hide / restore / delete. Public posts stay static.
Sessions and consent
A first-party session cookie, a comment-section consent card, and a light view record. Still two endpoints.
Building this blog
Static Astro, one Worker, and a free-tier budget. Why the blog is also an experiment.
