My method used a ridge BOARD, not a ridge BEAM. This means that the ridge piece is not technically load bearing, it's just there to provide a good surface to brace your rafters against. It seems like a great method of have a 'cathedral roof' aka no full triangular trusses which would dissect the space inside.
Because of this, angle brackets are fine and proper angled rafter hangers are not necessary. These brackets are simply in place to stop the rafters sliding sideways
All of these considerations are, of course, slightly moot as it's such a small building with such a small roof
