Portal settings
Show me around

Local and account-free. No account, no sign-up: whatever you type into the tools stays in this browser's localStorage and never reaches a server.

Our own counter records page opens and finishes: the address leaves, plus one tenth-of-the-text figure. No cookies, no outside trackers, your IP is not stored, Do Not Track is honoured. How to check that

The portal's own repository is not published, so we do not call it open source. What is open:

The portal lives on donations, paid consultations and requested write-ups, and on Workbench sales.

There are no plans to make the courses paid.

Portal check

Is the portal working now

The check runs in your browser, not on our server: that way it walks the same path the pages take to reach you.

The check starts on its own and only reads: it orders nothing, pays for nothing and remembers nothing about you.

The check has not run yet — your browser starts it as the page opens.

  • Search across the portal

    not checked yet

    Not working — search opens but finds nothing: look through the sections and contents instead.

  • Diagrams inside articles

    not checked yet

    Not working — empty gaps show where the diagrams should be. The article text is unaffected.

  • The narration recordings

    not checked yet

    Not working — the “Listen” button is there, but no sound plays. The text itself is in place.

  • The “Listen” button on articles

    not checked yet

    Not working — the button is missing from the article even when the recording is ready.

  • Taking orders and enquiries

    not checked yet

    Not working — the order form and the enquiry form will not go through. Write to us by email.

  • The connection to the bank

    not checked yet

    Not working — a card payment will not go through even though the button responds. Try later.

  • Payment is switched on

    not checked yet

    Not working — the portal is not taking payments right now; the order can be placed later.

  • Offer and privacy policy: one revision

    not checked yet

    Not working — payment page and contract show different document revisions: do not pay yet.

  • Signatures over the files of the site

    not checked yet

    Working — signatures are published next to the site: the text was not swapped on the way. How to check it yourself.

  • The visit counter

    not checked yet

    Working — the counter counts and stores neither cookies nor your address, and hands you to nobody.

What to do

  • Press “Check again”: the check is instant and speaks only about this second.
  • Everything red at once is almost always your internet rather than the portal.
  • A payment failed — do not retry it blindly: write to us and we will look at your order.

What this check will not show

  • Whether it was broken an hour ago: the check remembers nothing and speaks about now.
  • Whether it works for other people: the check runs from your browser, over your link.
  • Whether a payment will go all the way through: only the connection to the bank is visible.
  • Whether search finds what you wanted: only that the index is in place, not a stub.
  • Whether the signatures are valid: only that they exist. Verify with one command.
