People ask what I use. Here it is. Updated when something changes.

Hardware

• Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad T450. Still runs everything I need. No reason to replace it.
• Phone: Android. Camera for site surveys, field documentation, and quick notes.
• Workshop tools: Leather skiving knives, bone folders, bookbinding presses, sewing frames. All manual. The craft work at Hibrkraft is done by hand.

Software

• Editor: VS Code with Claude Code extension.
• Terminal: Git Bash on Windows.
• AI: Claude (primary), ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. I use all of them and document what works.
• Design: Figma for mockups. Canva for quick social assets.
• Writing: VS Code for long-form. Google Docs for collaboration. Google Play Books for publishing.
• Hosting: Rumahweb shared hosting, LiteSpeed server, cPanel.

Stack

• Site: Plain PHP includes. No framework. No SSG. SQLite for the post index.
• CSS: Single stylesheet, custom design tokens, no preprocessor.
• Charts: Chart.js v4 for data visualizations. Mermaid v11 for architecture diagrams.
• Fonts: Inter (headings), system stack (body).
• Deploy: Upload via cPanel File Manager or SFTP. No CI/CD. No build step.

Field work

• Site surveys: Measuring tape, camera, notebook. The basics.
• Pump engineering: ALBIN pump specs, AutoCAD drawings from principals, custom fabrication drawings.
• Book conservation: Japanese tissue, wheat starch paste, linen thread, archival-grade adhesives. The materials matter more than the tools.
