Press Health

In traditional printing, a proof sheet is pulled from the press before the full run to check for errors — misaligned type, ink problems, missing characters. This page serves the same purpose for our automated systems: every cron execution is logged, and failures surface immediately.

A forme is the locked assembly of type and spacing that gets loaded into a printing press. Each of our automated processes is named after this concept: the Publishing Press handles scheduled posts, the Social Ink Roller manages cross-platform social dispatch. When a forme runs successfully, it produces work; when it fails, the proof sheet catches it.

Transparency is a feature, not a liability. This site runs on a solo-operator stack — one human, one press — and every piece of the infrastructure is documented and verifiable. The proof sheet is no different: if the presses are running clean, you can see it. If something breaks, you can see that too.
