About Music Warrior Network

A site that teaches nothing, so that the sites which teach something are easier to find.

The Warrior Network is a group of separate music sites that share a codebase, a design system and one rule: every subject has exactly one home. An instrument family is taught on one site and only mentioned on the others. Music theory is its own site because it belongs to no instrument. A genre is its own site because no instrument owns a band. Music Warrior Network is the odd one out — it teaches nothing, and exists so the rest are findable.

Why a portal instead of a section

The obvious alternative is a “our other sites” page on whichever site is biggest. That fails twice. It makes one site the parent of the others, which is not how they relate — the wide site is not senior to the instrument sites, it is a different question. And it buries the map inside a site you have to have found first, which is exactly the problem a map is for.

So the map is its own address. It is deliberately small: a page per site, a directory, and the housekeeping. It publishes no chords, no scales, no notes and no diagrams — not because they would be hard, but because a page here about a chord would be another version of a page the sites already do properly, which is the definition of the thing this network is built to avoid.

Everything here is written here

The pages about the sites are this portal’s own reading of each one. None of them quotes the site it describes, or the one-line summary the network keeps internally: a paraphrase of each would be a thin page competing with the original, which would make this site the doorway rather than the door. Where a page here has nothing of its own to say, it says less.

The rules are enforced, not promised

Two claims above are checked on every change rather than believed. Every family having one home is a validator that fails the build if two sites claim the same one. Sites not repeating each other is a second validator that compares every site’s head text against every other site’s, across their whole page matrix, and fails on a shared template or a lifted phrase. This site is inside both checks, not exempt from them.

Free, and quiet

Every site on the network is free: no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no third-party requests, nothing to dismiss before you can read a page. This one keeps a single setting, your colour theme, in your own browser — see privacy — and is built to be read in a sensible order by a screen reader, with status carried in words rather than colour; see accessibility for the specifics.
