- Move shared structural styles to frontend/src/assets/pagerite.css with conservative variables, and purple theme overrides to frontend/src/assets/themes/purple/theme.css. - Backend now links the base and theme stylesheets as separate files so they can be swapped or augmented. - Add blocking="render" to stylesheet links to avoid FOUC. - Drop redundant defer from module script tags. - Update related docs and comments.
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.kanta 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.
