About

Achernar is a small indie development studio based in the Capital Region of Denmark. 🇩🇰

Vision

The goal of Achernar is to promote modern and robustly written open-source projects and alike.


In other words, 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 it would've been named after the binary system Sheliak (Bayer: β Lyræ). But it was this idea that evolved into Achernar.
