VISION

The goal of Achernar is to promote modern and robustly written open-source projects and alike. In simpler terms, our vision is to develop a human and clean industry and community for technology.

INCEPTION

Achernar was founded in the summer of 2024 by I, Gabriel Bjørnager Jensen.

Our domain – achernar.dk – 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 mandelbrot.dk after I had managed to secure that domain.

achernar.dk 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.

The idea of a company had started in the spring of 2020 – at that time having been named after the binary system Sheliak (Bayer: β Lyræ).
