On the method

Storgy is built on the public-domain corpus, line-aligned with original manuscripts where available. Themes, rankings, comparisons, and quizzes are drafted by Storgy's literary AI from each poem's full analysis, then cached. Every page is re-indexed weekly. No advertising, no tracking, no infinite scroll — a quiet reading surface.
