Make things.
Run them.Keep improving.
Whitelists is the front door to a collection of hands-on projects: a 2D engine, an LLM training experiment, an adaptive German learning studio, and a weather / IoT platform.
Four systems.
One workspace.
Each project is kept separate at the service layer, but shares a consistent visual language and a single operational model: predictable paths, explicit reverse proxies, local-only backends, and public HTTPS at the edge.
WortWerk
German that sticks
An adaptive German vocabulary studio built around active recall, review scheduling, saved sessions, progress tracking and productive practice.

Projects should be easy to understand—and easy to operate.
One canonical directory per project. One Nginx server block per hostname. Private application ports. Repeatable deployment and verification.
The platform
behind the pages.
The public sites live behind Nginx and TLS. Static projects stay static. Stateful applications are reverse-proxied only to loopback services. Administration interfaces stay off the public internet and are reached through SSH forwarding.
Public edge
Simple outside.
- HTTPS on 443, redirect from 80
- Host-specific Nginx configuration
- Static asset caching with versioned URLs
- No public access to application or database ports
Private services
Explicit inside.
- German backend on 127.0.0.1:3000
- MySQL on loopback only
- ddns-go panel on loopback only
- SSH tunnel for administrative access
