A big thank you to the open-source community
helpwave stands on the shoulders of countless maintainers, type designers and contributors who share their work freely. This page is a small token of gratitude. We stay with you.
The typefaces that carry this site
Typography is infrastructure. We thank the designers behind Space Grotesk and Inter for releasing their work under open licenses.
Florian Karsten's proportional sans serif — every heading on this site is set in it.
Visit project →Rasmus Andersson's screen-first family — body copy, navigation, buttons, and UI labels. Core reading weights are self-hosted from this site's static files; heavier weights ship with the Next.js bundle.
Visit project →The tools that build this site
Every piece below is open source. Without its maintainers, helpwave wouldn't exist.
The component model the entire frontend is built on.
Visit project →App Router, server components and the build pipeline that ships this site.
Visit project →Types we trust — across the whole codebase.

Visit project →Keeps the codebase consistent and catches mistakes before review.
Visit project →The deploy adapter and edge runtime that put this page near you.
Visit project →Parses our Substack feed for the blog index.

Visit project →What we give back

To every maintainer, designer and contributor:
Your work keeps the modern software world running — and that includes us. We stay with you.
