🚀 Deployment

The production site is published to GitHub Pages at hackertok.github.io.

Deployments are release-driven rather than branch-driven. This keeps production tied to explicit versioned releases.

This project follows a defense-in-depth model with strong governance, tightly controlled maintainer access, automated dependency updates, security scanning, and modern open-source security best practices.

Please report security vulnerabilities privately through GitHub Security Advisories, not public issues. The full disclosure process is documented in SECURITY.md.

HackerTok is built with React, TypeScript, and Vite, styled with Tailwind CSS and Radix UI, and tested and automated with Vitest, Playwright, and GitHub Actions.

Contributions are welcome, especially bug fixes and focused improvements to performance, accessibility, mobile ergonomics, and reading flow.
