Wiring Socket.IO to a state machine
How the order tracker keeps every connected client in sync without polling, and the rooms model we use to isolate customer streams.
Journal
Notes from the Bloom workshop.
We share engineering write-ups, design retros, accessibility deep-dives, and the occasional flower shop field note. The team writes these as we build this project in public.
The journal opens soon.
Our first posts are in draft. We'd rather publish three honest write-ups than fill a sidebar with filler. Subscribe below or check the topics we're currently working on.
What we're writing about
Three draft series, each grounded in something we actually shipped.
Persona 5 × wabi-sabi without the cosplay
A design system retrospective on inheriting two strong aesthetic vocabularies without one swallowing the other.
Auditing every page for WCAG 2.1 AA
What broke, what we caught with automated checks, and the manual screen-reader passes that found the rest.
Academic context
Bloom is a capstone project. The journal is part of the technical documentation requirement; posts will be published as research and reflections, not as marketing.
