This mostly served as my own notes for school – mainly mathematics, physics, and chemistry – but quickly grew unorganised and unmaintained, although I did have plans to expand the encyclopedia.</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 Sheliak (Bayer: <code>β Lyræ</code>). But it was this idea that evolved into “Achernar.”</p> + <br> + <p>Shortly after being incorporated, we registered the domain <code>achernar.io</code>. At that time, we also set up mail services using our domain.</p> +</section> + +<?php addHeading("Credits", "credits"); ?> + +<section class="fullWidth"> + <p>Thanks to <strong>Nicolas Gallagher</strong> for the <a href="https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/"><code>normalize.css</code></a> stylesheet.
