Application Structure

This website is built as a static-app, following the Application Shell pattern.

Content

Content is fetched and rendered on the fly from Markdown documents located in content/. Documents can contain optional YAML FrontMatter for specifying page metadata or layout information. Once fetched, content is parsed using marked and rendered to VDOM via preact-markup.

Custom Elements

Since preact is used to render the Markdown content, HTML contained in a document reference any of the Components listed in src/components/widget.js as Custom Elements, useful for dynamic content.

Navigation

Currently, the navigation menu and route handling is controlled by src/config.json. This is likely to change, but in the meantime it means any new pages must be linked from the "nav" section of the config.
