<p id="contentHeading">About</p>
<p><b>Achernar</b> is a small indie development studio based in the Capital Region of Denmark. 🇩🇰</p>
<section>
<p class="heading">Vision</p>
<p>The goal of <b>Achernar</b> is to promote modern and robustly written open-source projects and alike.</p>
<br>
<p>In other words, our vision is to develop a human and clean industry and community for technology.</p>

<p class="heading">Inception</p>
<p><b>Achernar</b> was founded in the summer of 2024 by I, <em>Gabriel Bjørnager Jensen</em>.</p>
<br>
<p>Our domain – <span class="code">achernar.dk</span> – was already registered in the winter of 2021, at that time being used for hosting on-line source code repositories. This was, however, quickly outsourced to <span class="code"><a href="https://mandelbrot.dk">mandelbrot.dk</a></span> after I had managed to secure that domain.</p>
<br>
<p><span class="code">achernar.dk</span> was then, in the mean time, used for hosting a few look-up references. This mostly served as my own notes for school – mainly mathematics, physics, and chemistry – but quickly grew unorganised and umaintained, although I did have plans to expand the lexicon.</p>
<br>
<p>The idea of a company had started in the spring of 2020. At that time it would've been named after the binary system <em>Sheliak</em> (Bayer: <span class="code">β Lyræ</span>). But it was this idea that evolved into <em>Achernar</em>.</p>
