After developing a new website for the Lautdenkmal project, I also rebuilt my research lab’s homepage. Plain HTML/JS with a Python builder again, this time replacing a Hugo-driven site. The design language is much calmer and more refined now, less in-your-face but with a unique twist.

Eleven years ago, I dreamed of a card game in which players would build and play universes against each other in the multiverse. The next day, we built a prototype using the backs of another game's card deck. The game was playable and astonishingly stable from the beginning.
