Nikolai Solomonov

A ministry site: Scripture, episodes and studies at one address — gathered by subject rather than stacked by date.

context

Nikolai Solomonov studies Scripture and talks about how it touches ordinary life: faith, family, health, work and money. The material lived wherever it was published — YouTube, Telegram, VK, RuTube.

On 1 September 2026 it got an address of its own: solomonov.online. The former heisanswer.site is not switched off — it returns a 301 and brings people to the new one.

the system

Nobody fills the media library by hand. A script on the server walks the channel and playlist feeds, drops the shorts and puts the episodes into one file the page is built from.

YouTube does not always answer. So a deploy does not fall over with it: if the feeds do not arrive, the site builds on the previous data and stays exactly as it was.

  1. channel episodes and playlists where he publishes them
  2. build feeds are fetched on the server, shorts dropped
  3. page static: nothing loads in afterwards
  4. assistant built into the page, its copy still being set
the page is assembled by the channel, not by an editor

the detail

There is one colour on the page — brass. It was not picked from a palette but taken with an eyedropper from the stone in the first photograph: the accent continues the picture instead of arguing with it.

The quotes are his own words from the episodes, each linked to the minute it was said. No biography was invented: the page holds only what he said himself.

The media gathers itself
one channel and four playlists, shorts dropped
A quote leads into the episode
not to the video in general, but to the second where the words are said

the result

The material now has an address that does not depend on a platform.

The assistant already answers on the page and looks like part of it: it lives in a container closed off from the page, so we reached inside and repainted it in the same tokens — stone, paper, brass.

Its own copy — the name in the header and the greeting — is set on the service side and is still empty. That is the next piece of work.
