- OpenStack.md 0.1: read from products, served about ourselves
- OpenSaaS 0.1: plans and the cancel page, read from products
- OpenIcon 0.1: the reference set, a vendored subset

## Hosting

- dev2 (bare metal): systemd unit built-indie, nginx, OpenInstall bin/install.sh
- Moshpit name built.indie, certificate from the Moshpit registry

## Never

- No Stripe: payments are CoinPay
- No client-side framework, no bundler
- No secrets in .env files: app.env is written from the vault
