This is the source repository for my website. In summary, this project runs a simple HTTP server with statically-generated content.

Project Structure

Infrastructure

• templates/: HTML pages and components with $template keys.
• styles/: stylesheets separated by page type for convenience. Combined into one file during initialization.
• src/: library code for reading files and generating content.
• index.js: main server entrypoint.

Content

• updates/: website-related or general updates injected into the homepage and sorted by recency. Format: YYYY-MM-DD.html with arbitrary HTML content.
• projects/: metadata files used to generate cards on the projects page. Each entry is an arbitrarily-named JSON file with the following keys: name, description, link, and thumbnail.
• blogposts/: blogpost files used to generate both blogpost pages and entries in the blog page. Format: YYYY-MM-DD_Post Title.html with arbitrary HTML content.
  • JSON metadata can be included in a comment with the following keys: summary and thumbnail.
• tools.txt: newline-separated entries for the randomly-chosen 'Made with ...' text in the footer.

Private Blogposts

Private blogposts are located in the hidden private-blogposts/ directory using the same blogposts/ format described above. Private posts can only be accessed with a manually-generated one-time-use private key.

To generate a private key, run ./scripts/gen-private-key.js and provide the path to the private post. The key will be stored in the private-blogpost-keys.json file which is safely managed by the server process.
