Publishing our own articles (drafts → live) is a site rebuild: edit the article file, then build + deploy — one command; ask the Composer.

Homepage ticker

the KC WIRE crawl
The red block pinned on the left. Narrow screens always show ● LIVE regardless.
Pixels per second on desktop. 80 is the tested default; lower reads calmer, higher more urgent. Mobile runs ~25 px/s slower automatically.
