- New-page flow: slug placeholder shows the slug derived live from the
title (placeholders keep browser-default styling; slug values no longer
muted). Committing PUTs empty markdown, which now creates an empty page
rendering with its title instead of 404, then hands over to the page
editor (CodeMirror focuses on mount)
- Saving never deletes: REST PUT and WS save store empty content as an
empty page; deletion is the page editor's explicit choice — saving
trimmed-empty text issues a REST DELETE
- Fonts: add Cormorant (variable 300-700, normal+italic) to the serif
picks, replacing single-weight Gloock; Playfair Display files kept on
disk but not offered
- Data.theme/Data.custom_css site settings with /_api/settings support;
theme stylesheet linked per page, custom CSS inline as #pagerite-user,
swapped during fetch-navigation
- Site editor: theme selector, custom CSS CodeMirror field; in-place
stylesheet swap (diff-based, preserves editor stylesheets); dev swaps
Vite-injected style tags since no <link>s exist there
- Dev theme delivery via <meta name="pagerite:theme"> + dynamic import
in pagerite.js instead of a hardcoded purple import
- Fix dead edit pens in prod: Vite app builds strip entry exports, so
the dynamic-imported main.js had no openEditor/closeEditor; build with
preserveEntrySignatures 'exports-only' and log editor load failures
instead of swallowing them
- Editor slide-in is one-shot: cleared on animationend so stylesheet
swaps cannot restart a finished animation
- Replace Fraunces/Literata with Source Sans 3/Serif 4, Inter and
Montserrat variable fonts; font stacks as CSS variables
- Remove the /_admin route, views.render_editor, and standalone mode from
the Vue editor (main.js / PageEditor.vue)
- Remove /_admin dev proxy and preload exclusion
- Set vite appType to 'mpa' and delete frontend/index.html so unknown
/_ paths return 404 instead of an empty Vue shell
- Update AGENTS.md and docs/design-principles.md
- Move API routes from /_/api/ to /_api/
- Move uploaded files from /_/f/ to /_f/
- Move built assets from /_/assets/ to /_assets/
- Move admin shell from /_/admin to /_admin
- Update Vite proxy/build config, frontend fetches/WebSockets, devserver health URL, seed content, and docs
- Fix README database name to pagerite.kantadb
- Remove the section-header ➕ "add landing page" button; landing pages are
now created via the page editor pen.
- Treat saving a page with empty (after stripping) Markdown as deleting it:
childless nodes are removed, nodes with children become content-less labels.
- Restrict server-side slugs to [a-z0-9_-] with no leading underscore or dot;
drop the reserved-filename blacklist.
- Render placeholder pages for content-less category labels and link them to
their first published child in the navigation.
- Make task-list checkboxes live, non-disabled inputs: toggling updates the
Markdown source, updates the open CodeMirror document when the page editor is
open, and persists to the server when no editor is open. Errors revert the UI.
- Update docs and AGENTS.md conventions accordingly.
Slug inputs in the site editor now filter as you type via slugify.js
(built on the transliteration npm package: unicode incl. asian scripts
folds to ASCII, spaces become hyphens, anything outside [a-z0-9-] is
dropped) instead of erroring on commit. A new page left with an empty
slug gets one derived from its title. Server-side, _check_reserved
additionally rejects reserved root file names (robots.txt, ads.txt,
sitemap.xml, openapi.json, favicon.ico, site.webmanifest) with a
human-readable reason, which the editor surfaces in its error line so
the row can be edited and committed again; those URLs are also never
looked up as content when serving.
Enforced at three layers: the site editor validates slug inputs before
committing (rename and new-page rows), the API rejects such paths in
_check_reserved (page save/delete, structure moves, editor socket), and
the content catch-all 404s them without a tree lookup.
Build with assetsDir: '_/assets' so hashed assets land under
frontend-build/_/assets/ and favicon.ico (from frontend/public) at the
build root, then serve the whole build directory at the site root again
(frontend.route(app, "/"), cached="/_/assets/"). The explicit
favicon route is dropped — the Frontend serves it as an ordinary
unhashed (no-cache) file. Manifest paths now carry the _/assets/
prefix, so views.py only prepends a slash.
Reorganize the URL space so all machinery lives under /_/: the Vite
build (now with assetsDir: '', two ES-module entries and hashed shared
assets: style.css, pygments.css, banner.svg, fonts moved from
pagerite/static to frontend/src/assets) is served at /_/assets via
frontend.route(app, "/_/assets") with cached="/", and the admin
shell moves to /_/admin, leaving only "_" as a reserved top-level
slug. A /favicon.ico route serves the file Vite copies from
frontend/public. In dev, Vite proxies content pages and /_/admin to
the backend.
Editor changes: drop the noisy status line for a save-error indicator,
reconnect the WebSocket with exponential backoff, and re-establish the
connection from send() when it has dropped. The socket connects when
an editor is opened (they mount on pen click), not before.
FastAPI backend rendering HTML with html5tagger, content persisted in a
kanta database and rendered per request. Vue only for the editing tools
(page editor over a WebSocket, site/structure editor); public pages are
plain HTML with fetch navigation. No auth: single trusted author.
