Replace unstyled content flash with pulsing gray placeholder shapes
while the deferred Tailwind stylesheet loads. Uses a 'loading' class
on <html> that critical CSS uses to show skeleton / hide content,
removed by the stylesheet's onload handler.
Includes noscript fallback to bypass skeleton when JS is disabled.

Add shared save-later.js module and per-item save buttons to
blogroll, podroll, listening, and news pages. Buttons are hidden
by default and only visible when logged in. Posts to the readlater
plugin API at /readlater/save.
Alpine.js component that lets visitors click any image inside
article content to view it fullscreen with keyboard navigation
(arrow keys, Escape to close) and prev/next buttons.
The extractFirstImage filter picks up <img> tags from the full rendered
page content, including sidebar widgets (like recent post thumbnails).
This caused og:image to reference sidebar OG images from OTHER posts
instead of falling through to the __OG_IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER__ that the
og-fix transform resolves from outputPath.
Only ogPhoto and image (from frontmatter) are now used as explicit
image sources. All other cases use the placeholder resolved by the
og-fix transform.
The Eleventy 3.x parallel rendering race condition (#3183) makes
page.url unreliable in templates — it changes between lines during
concurrent processing. All previous approaches (eleventyComputed,
capturing page.url early with {% set %}) failed because the page
object is shared and mutated by parallel renders.
The transform approach works because outputPath is passed as a
function parameter (not read from a shared object) and IS correct
since files are written to the right location. The transform:
- Derives the OG slug from outputPath pattern matching
- Replaces __OG_IMAGE_PLACEHOLDER__ with the correct OG image URL
- Replaces __TWITTER_CARD_PLACEHOLDER__ with the correct card type
- Fixes og:url and canonical URL from outputPath
Generate index.md alongside index.html for /articles/ at build time.
Agents can access clean Markdown via .md URL extension or Accept:
text/markdown content negotiation. Includes configurable content-signal
policy (ai-train, search, ai-input) and a master on/off toggle via
MARKDOWN_AGENTS_ENABLED env var.
Pages with permalink:false (like about.njk) have page.url as false,
which crashes inline string operations. Use the ogSlug filter with
(page.url or "") guard to handle falsy values safely. Also removes
debug comment from previous debugging session.
permalink is set by eleventyComputed which cross-contaminates return
values across pages during Eleventy 3.x parallel rendering. page.url
is set by Eleventy's internal pipeline and is correct in templates
(verified via og:url meta tag which always shows the right URL).
Both page.url AND page.inputPath are unreliable in eleventyComputed due to
Eleventy 3.x parallel rendering (issue #3183). They return values from OTHER
pages being processed concurrently, causing og:image meta tags to reference
wrong OG images.
Fix: compute ogSlug directly in base.njk from the permalink data value using
existing Nunjucks filters (ogSlug, hasOgImage). permalink comes from frontmatter
(per-file data) and is immune to cross-page contamination.
site.url had a trailing slash (added for Mastodon rel=me verification),
which caused double slashes in all URL constructions like
{{ site.url }}/auth → https://rmendes.net//auth
This broke IndieAuth login — indielogin.com read the authorization_endpoint
link tag with //auth and redirected users there, which 404'd in nginx.
Split into site.url (no slash, for URL construction) and site.me /
site.author.url (with slash, for Mastodon rel=me strict matching).
Also fixed twitter:image meta tags to use smart slash logic matching
the og:image pattern (check if path starts with / before prepending one).
Add a Fediverse button to the "Also on" footer for posts syndicated via
self-hosted ActivityPub. Clicking it redirects users to their own instance
via authorize_interaction so they can like/boost/reply natively. Instance
is stored in localStorage for repeat visits, with a modal for first-time
entry and Shift+click to change.
Also adds branded syndication buttons for LinkedIn and IndieNews, and
replaces the heuristic Mastodon URL detection with exact matching against
the configured MASTODON_INSTANCE.
Alpine CDN uses queueMicrotask to auto-start, which fires between
defer scripts. comments.js must execute before Alpine so its
alpine:init listener is registered before Alpine.start() runs.
This is the Alpine-documented pattern: "Include [component scripts]
before Alpine's core JS file."
- Comment area on post pages (IndieAuth sign-in, submit, display)
- Alpine.js client-side component for auth flow and comment CRUD
- Recent comments sidebar widget with build-time data fetching
- Include comments.js in base layout, comments.njk before webmentions

- Add <noscript><style> in base.njk that unhides x-cloak/x-show content,
hides FAB and tab buttons when JS is disabled (content stacks instead)
- Add noscript message on search page with links to blog/categories
- Add noscript banner on interactions page explaining inbound tab needs JS
AI crawlers (GPTBot) were following edit/create links in the static
HTML, flooding the server with /posts/edit and /session/login requests.
Adding nofollow tells well-behaved crawlers to skip these admin-only links.
Eleventy 3.x renders Nunjucks templates in parallel, causing page.url
to return wrong values in {% set %} tags. This caused OG images to be
mismatched between pages (e.g., bookmark showed note's OG image).
Move ogSlug and hasOgImage computation to eleventyComputed, which runs
during the sequential data cascade phase before parallel rendering.
The computed values are then available as plain template variables.
Refs: https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/issues/3183
page.fileSlug suffers from a race condition in Eleventy 3.x parallel
rendering where Nunjucks shares state across template compilations,
causing slugs to get mixed up between pages. page.url is always
correct, so derive the OG slug from it instead.

Uses Satori + @resvg/resvg-js to create branded 1200x630 social
preview cards at build time. Cards show post title, type badge,
date, and site name on a dark background with blue accent.
Generated images are cached in .cache/og/ (persistent on Cloudron)
and passthrough-copied to the output. Posts with photos continue
using their own images. Untitled posts (notes) use body text.
When viewing a post that has mpUrl in its frontmatter, the FAB menu
shows an "Edit this post" link at the top that redirects to the
Indiekit admin edit form via /posts/edit?url=<mpUrl>.

The defer + DOMContentLoaded queue approach failed silently when
pagefind-ui.js couldn't load. Moving the script to end of body
ensures all DOM elements exist and processes the queue immediately
after the script loads.

Pagefind CSS/JS is now loaded once in base.njk <head> with defer.
A tiny initPagefind() helper queues widget inits until DOMContentLoaded
when PagefindUI is available. Removes duplicate <link>/<script> tags
from all sidebar widgets, search page, and 404 page.

clipping scrollable code blocks — changed to overflow-x: clip.

/now is already in the /slashes submenu dropdown, so having it

Move CV content to a standalone /cv page that reuses the section partials
from the homepage builder. Simplify home.njk from a 3-tier to 2-tier
fallback (plugin config OR recent posts + explore links). Add /cv to

The homepage builder's sidebar bypass was using homepageConfig (a global
Eleventy data file) to suppress the sidebar on ALL pages, not just the
homepage. Now only bypasses when page.url == "/" so blog, post type, and
plugin pages keep their normal sidebar.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- base.njk: skip hardcoded sidebar when homepage builder is active
- homepage-builder.njk: implement 3 layouts (single-column, two-column,
full-width-hero) with CSS grid and sidebar rendering
- homepage-section.njk: section type dispatcher (extracted for reuse)
- homepage-sidebar.njk: maps widget types to existing widget partials

Strip personal data from templates so the theme ships clean for any
deployer. Collection pages now use generatePageOnEmptyData so empty
post types show encouraging placeholders instead of 404s. Navigation
is conditional on enabled post types and installed plugins. Sidebar
widgets split into individual components with plugin-aware visibility.
Slashes page explains required plugins for root-level page creation.
