# RanThrice

> Nothing ships until it has run three times. We publish our zeros.
> RanThrice is a one-person operating studio. Playbooks, zero-dependency tools and cost ledgers sold only after they ran three times, with the zeros published.

Rules that govern every page: a number without a dated source does not exist; zeros are published; nothing is sold before it ran three times; the buyer owns the files forever; nothing is promised about income, rankings or citations. Proof ground: wiserstaff.com and riin-art.com, two production sites the operator runs.

## Runs

- [Cloudflare Drop, run 1: a folder to a live domain](https://ranthrice.com/runs/cloudflare-drop-run-1/): Run 1 of the no-terminal path: dragged to Cloudflare Drop, claimed, live on ranthrice.com. The real .com price, and the zero that broke it.

## Glossary & FAQ

- [What is a static site?](https://ranthrice.com/glossary/static-site/): A static site is a set of files built once and served as-is by a CDN. No server runs per visit, which is why hosting it can cost $0 per month on a free tier.
- [What is subscription fatigue?](https://ranthrice.com/glossary/subscription-fatigue/): Subscription fatigue is the point where the sum of small recurring bills stops being justified by their use, and an operator starts cancelling.
- [What is a zero-width space?](https://ranthrice.com/glossary/zero-width-space/): A zero-width space (U+200B) is an invisible Unicode character with no width: harmless in itself, a carrier for hidden marks in copied or generated text.
