If the “what is Typer” page is the pitch, this is the inside. How is it actually wired together, and what would I do differently? Short answer: [one-line framing of the architecture — e.g. “it’s a thin client over a single smart core”].
The stack
Typer is built with [stack — e.g. language, framework, runtime]. The main pieces:
- [Layer / module 1] — [what it’s responsible for]
- [Layer / module 2] — [what it’s responsible for]
- [Layer / module 3] — [what it’s responsible for]
[Why this stack and not something else — one sentence of justification, e.g. “I picked X because I already knew it and shipping mattered more than the perfect tool.”]
The flow, end to end
When you [trigger action], here’s roughly what happens:
- [Step 1 — input is received / parsed]
- [Step 2 — the core does its thing]
- [Step 3 — result is produced / rendered / saved]
The interesting logic lives in [the key file / component]:
// [snippet — the central function or the loop that does the real work]Decisions I’d defend
A few choices shaped everything else:
| Decision | Why |
|---|---|
| [Decision 1, e.g. “no database”] | [reasoning] |
| [Decision 2, e.g. “client-side only”] | [reasoning] |
| [Decision 3] | [reasoning] |
What was hard
The hardest part was [the genuinely tricky thing — e.g. “getting X to feel instant”, “handling the edge case where Y”]. I tried [first approach], which [why it failed], before landing on [what actually worked].
The thing that still bugs me: [known limitation / tech debt you’d fix with more time].
What’s next
On the list: [planned improvement #1] and [planned improvement #2]. No promises on timing — [honest note about it being a side project].
