- 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
Pagerite
A single-user CMS/blog. FastAPI serves HTML rendered in Python with html5tagger, content is persisted in a kanta database and rendered on the fly per request. Vue is used only for interactive bits (the editing tools), not for the public pages.
Running
uv run pagerite # serves the built frontend
uv run scripts/devserver.py # dev mode with auto reloads (no build needed)
The database lives in pagerite.kantadb in the working directory
(PAGERITE_DB overrides). On startup, demo pages from pagerite/seed.py
are added only if missing.
Editing
Click the 🖊️ pen on any page: the article pen opens the page editor (Markdown with live server-rendered preview over a WebSocket), the banner pen opens the site editor (site brand, banner HTML, and the page structure tree). Everything saves immediately — no save buttons.
See docs/design-principles.md for the design and AGENTS.md for the
development conventions.
