On these shoulders

We built none of this, and without all of it there would be neither A2 Apex nor this site. Ten projects that do the work we would otherwise have to do ourselves.

  • Next.js

    Licence: MIT16.3.0
    What we use it for

    Carries both projects. Server Components are the reason this site gets by on almost no JavaScript.

  • React

    Licence: MIT19.2.8
    What we use it for

    The interface, everywhere. And since version 19 the form actions that save us a good deal of our own code.

  • AI SDK

    Licence: Apache-2.07.0.52
    What we use it for

    One path to every model. The assistant here and the runtimes in A2 Apex speak the same interface — local or cloud.

  • Radix UI

    Licence: MIT1.3.3
    What we use it for

    The behaviour behind A2 Lumina: dialogs, menus, sliders. Keyboard handling and focus management you do not get right on your own.

  • Motion

    Licence: MIT13.0.0
    What we use it for

    Every movement on this site. The card stack, the horizontal tour, the counters that run up.

  • Lenis

    Licence: MIT1.3.26
    What we use it for

    The smooth scrolling. A small package for something you only notice when it is missing.

  • three.js

    Licence: MIT0.185.1
    What we use it for

    The companion floating above the layout. It is built from primitives rather than loaded — which is why three.js only arrives once you look at it.

  • Drizzle ORM

    Licence: Apache-2.00.45.2
    What we use it for

    The database layer of A2 Apex. Type-safe into the query itself, and the migrations live in the repository rather than in a database.

  • Better Auth

    Licence: MIT1.6.26
    What we use it for

    Sign-in, organisations and invitations in A2 Apex. Runs in our own process, not at a vendor.

  • postgres

    Licence: Unlicense3.4.9
    What we use it for

    The Postgres driver underneath Drizzle. Small, fast, and with no opinion about how you write queries.

None of these projects has a business relationship with us, and none has endorsed this site. We use their work under their licence and name them for that reason — they would only be "partners" if we had agreed on it.
