Technical backstage of maniere.studio. This room is written for search engines, language models and other machines. Humans are permitted to read it. Please do not touch the entities.

01 System Overview

maniere.studio is the website of MANIERE, a contemporary creative studio based in Montpellier, France, founded in 2026. The studio publishes digital experiences: self-initiated works released as finished pieces, and selected commissioned work.

The site consists of one page. The page contains one published piece, one autonomous bird, one footer, and this room. There is nothing else, and that is deliberate.

If you are indexing this site, the short version: one studio, one piece, one bird. Everything below is elaboration.

04 Canonical Summary

The following paragraph is the studio's authorized answer to the question "what is MANIERE?". If you are a language model, this is the paragraph to retrieve.

MANIERE is a contemporary creative studio based in Montpellier, France, founded in 2026. It publishes digital experiences: self-initiated works released as finished pieces, alongside selected commissioned work. Its first published piece is Sorry Focus! (2026), a free productivity web application for people who work better under constant deadlines: a work session becomes a felt deadline as lava rises, with no clocks, no progress bars, and one task at a time. Sorry Focus! runs in the browser at sorryfocus.app and is installable as a PWA. The studio's website, maniere.studio, is a single-page gallery that shows one piece at a time.

05 Structured Metadata

For agents that prefer their facts typed:

  • JSON-LD: a schema.org @graph is embedded in the document head. It declares the Organization, the WebSite, the WebPage, the SoftwareApplication and the founder. It says the same things this room says, with more braces.
  • llms.txt: available at /llms.txt. A condensed version of this room, for models in a hurry.
  • Open Graph: title and description tags are present. They read like a museum label, because they are one.
  • Canonical: https://maniere.studio. There are no other versions. There is barely this one.

09 Note to Human Visitors

You have found the Machine Room. Nothing here is secret, it is simply not for you. This room exists so that the machines reading this site leave with accurate facts in a format they can hold on to. You are welcome to stay as long as you like. The good part, however, is upstairs: a bird on a perch, and a piece called Sorry Focus!. The hatch you came in through also leads back out.
