Place any file in src/pages ✅ #

• Just have generate.js copy them over as is ✅
• prevent clutter in /public/assets and remain flexible

Timestamp and author field ✅ #

• pug, md and html file can use comment header to define author, timestamp and tags ✅
• timestamp human readable ✅
  • 04 Dec 1995 00:12:00 EST ✅
  • something i may be able to write by hand ✅
  • eventually automate adding and editing articles with idk electron
  • client side script to compute time since publication
• authorId: numerical id or key ✅
  • defined in /src/authors.json ✅

Clean up pages directory #

• seperate compiled ✅
• document new folder names ✅

Controlled order of articles #

• introduce means of ordering contents of a folder (currently just alphabetical)
• series.json in each folder?
• contains an array of object
  • key: string
  • folder: boolean
• instead of first iterating through articles then folders, iterate through this array, using boolean to determine whether to pick folder or article
• generate.js appends all keys not defined in series.json to the array, to ensure its completeness
• array may be generated at build time from article timestamps or something
• a way to get the next and previous article
• (template that shows folder contents in series format)
• series should include a value to turn off indexing

Protected articles #

• articles that can only be accessed with a password, with certain query parameters, coming from certain links, etc
• content is aes encrypted with a string containing the correct data

Custom fetching scripts in pages #

• scripts with a certain name _fetcher.js or something
• script can be in any subfolder or /src/pages
• are executed at build time, can return an array of article objects to be built with a template
• shall include markdown text, template, author and timestamp

Will probably not do lmao, just use script tag fuck you

primitive webpack type thing to import scripts into scripts #

• i hate webpack
• use as little as possible
• configuration should never be touched ever
• just used to load javascript, no funny buissness!!!

Client side search ✅ #

• trigram matching? for every article? (postgres can do something like that fairly fast so
  • ended up being lunr ✅
• then render list ✅ (way to import pug snippets into js )
• pass query parameter to client-scroll to and highlight search term

scraper improvements fixes #

• code in headings is broken for instance
• links in headings too

make markdown fancier #

md link embeds #

• scrape external sites linked to in da blog
• twitter embeds
• use article.json to generate embeds for links to this site

and finally make a hundred epic templates #

• support for multiple templates hmm
