The website of St. Alexius Cathedral in Samarkand — I do everything from design to the server. Django 6 with HTMX and Alpine.js, fuzzy search on pg_trgm tuned on real data, the Orthodox calendar with date rules and a computed Paschalion, about 2,100 lives of saints, 46 feasts, a 229-term glossary and 588 news posts imported from the Telegram channel. In 2026 I rewrote my own first version of the site from 2021.
