A little everyday life
Keine Nachrichten is a German-language newspaper about small, unhurried moments: a second coffee, a familiar walk or a task that can wait. Its promise is explicit: “Unabhängig. Unaufgeregt. Absolut faktenfrei.” The articles are invented. The newspaper format is a creative frame for fictional everyday stories.
An archive with its own calendar
The website went public on 27 October 2026. Its fictional archive begins on 1 August 2026; that earlier date is part of the newspaper’s chronology, rather than its launch date. At this note’s original publication on 1 November, the archive reached that date: 93 daily editions and 400 articles, with four stories on weekdays and Saturdays and six on Sundays. Each edition and article has its own address.
Drawn for a quieter page
Local SVG pen drawings accompany the editions. A newspaper masthead, columns, small observations and a calendar archive let visitors browse at their own pace. The masthead now returns to the latest available edition, while each article also links back to the edition in which it appeared.
Sharing starts with a choice
Article pages offer ordinary sharing links and a manual preparation step for Instagram. The website code uses no executable scripts, visitor tracking, cookies or browser storage. Its drawings are served locally and its type uses system fonts. Sharing services are contacted when visitors follow their links; those services and Cloudflare hosting have their own processing, explained in the newspaper’s privacy notice.
Made together, reviewed by Mario
Mario sets the direction, reviews the work and retains editorial responsibility. Aik is his AI assistant, helping with writing, illustrations, design and code. The archive has been extended through deliberate project work. At this note’s original publication on 1 November, automatic daily publication had not been set up. Update, 6 November: date-controlled release was introduced on 2 November and extended on 4 November to cover prepared editions through 30 April 2027. The server makes each prepared edition available from 01:00 Europe/Berlin on its date; it does not generate articles automatically.
Another door into the lab
Visit keine-nachrichten.de for the newspaper. Its footer already links back to Mario & Aik Lab. This note records the project and its current state on 1 November 2026; it adds no search-indexing configuration.
Project timeline
Project milestones are separate from this note’s publication on 1 November 2026. Dates follow the project records and Europe/Berlin calendar.
Timeline added 6 November 2026 from the preserved project records.
Documented preparation and implementation
The newspaper design, fictional editions, article pages, illustrations and publication package were prepared. The fictional archive dates are not dates of website development.
First public release
Keine Nachrichten was published on its own domain. New editions initially required deliberate preparation and publication.
The fictional archive moves back to August
Thirty-one August editions were added to the already published archive. Its new 1 August starting date belongs to the invented newspaper chronology, not the website launch.
Sunday edition and clearer navigation
The Sunday edition brought the archive to ninety-three editions and four hundred articles. The masthead was changed to return to the latest published edition.
Date-controlled publication
The existing Worker gained date-based release of prepared November editions at 01:00 Europe/Berlin. Future editions remained unavailable before their release time.
Prepared editions through April
The prepared collection was extended through 30 April 2027, with server-time release controls. This schedules existing editorial material; it does not generate new articles automatically.
Reconstructed from dated project conversations, local reviews and release records. Earlier ideas are dated only where documented.
