 ## Technical approach
 
-The application is written in Go and rendered on the server with `templ`, with SQLite as the primary datastore and `sqlc` for typed query generation. Styling uses Tailwind CSS v4. HTMX and small TypeScript modules handle incremental interactions, which keeps the interface responsive without moving the entire product into a heavy client-side architecture.
