  • Set of tags (similar post should have common tags)
  • Creation and update date
  • Title
• Search engine
  • Search by title and tag
• Visual post representation
• Posts written in nabladown.js
• Minimal dependencies

DB Structure

	tags: Array<String>
}

Js first

It will be a single page application using vanilla js, described here

Scripts

Most of the useful scripts can be found in the package.json, scripts section. Therefore you should run those, by using bun run ... or node run ...<name of script>.

If you really need to run the scripts you need to run it from the root ./, like this:

sh scripts/...

or

bun scripts/...

or

node scripts/...

The scripts/blog-builder.js build-java only run using node, there is a bug in bun that blocks running this particular command.

Dependencies

General dependencies

• bun.js or node.js
• docker
• ffmpeg (this is useful to run build-images.js)

Js dependencies

• nabladown.js
• textFit

Using Blog Builder

The blog builder is a set of scripts designed to update the website. It updates the database, creates the images in various resolutions, create/updates various artifacts (e.g the build-java script)

Creating a new post

• Create new folder with the unique id of the post in posts folder
• Inside this folder create a .nd file with the name equal to its unique id
• The first lines the .nd file, should be a comment with the following format:
  • title: String
  • creationDate: String<Date: dd/mm/yyyy> (note: dd=00..31 / mm=01..12 / yyyy=0000....9999)
  • lastUpdateDate: String<Date: dd/mm/yyyy>
  • tags: Array
• Add .webm video about your post with its name equal to its unique id
• Run bun run build-posts in the root.

TODO

• Add different view on tags (like this)
• Add email subscription (?)
