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.
Add color-coded left borders to post cards on all blog listing and
category pages, and make sidebar widgets collapsible with localStorage
persistence on both listing and single-post sidebars.
The widget used bare 'recentPosts' variable which doesn't exist in
the homepage context (it's a collection). Add fallback to
collections.recentPosts so the widget works on all pages.
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).
The homepage uses cv-projects-personal.njk, not cv-projects.njk.
Apply the same collapsible accordion pattern to both personal
and work project section variants.
Sidebar widgets are now wrapped in a collapsible Alpine.js container
with a title + chevron toggle. First 3 widgets open by default, rest
collapsed. State persists in localStorage across page loads. Inner
widget titles hidden by CSS to avoid duplication with wrapper titles.
Project cards now show a compact summary row (name, status badge, date
range, chevron) that expands on click to reveal description and tech
tags. Uses Alpine.js with independent toggles and smooth transitions.
Each post card in the recent-posts section now has a 3px left border
colored by post type: red for likes, amber for bookmarks, green for
reposts, blue for replies, purple for photos, neutral for articles/notes.
Reuses the existing fediverseInteract Alpine.js component to let
visitors follow the site author from their own fediverse instance.
Registered in all three sidebar routers (homepage, blog listing,
blog post) as widget type "fediverse-follow".
- Add computed permalink in data cascade for existing posts without
frontmatter permalink (converts file path to Indiekit URL)
- Fix ogSlug filter and computed data for new 5-segment URL structure
- Add conversations API as build-time data source
- Merge conversations + webmentions in webmentionsForUrl filter with
deduplication and legacy /content/ URL alias computation
- Sidebar widget fetches from both webmention-io and conversations APIs
- Update webmention-debug page with conversationMentions parameter
Pass the self-hosted ActivityPub syndication URL to the modal instead
of the Eleventy HTML page URL. Mastodon's authorize_interaction needs
a resolvable AP URI, not the HTML page which lacks an activity+json
alternate link.
Replace @click.outside on modal panel with @click.stop — the backdrop
already handles closing. @click.outside fires from the same click event
that opens the modal via x-if, immediately setting showModal back to false.
nodes.fediverse.party doesn't send CORS headers, so the fetch fails
from the browser. Remove autocomplete entirely — users type their
instance once and localStorage remembers it.
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.
Add <is-land on:visible> lazy-loading wrapper to every widget template
and the comments section for consistent deferred rendering. Widgets
that already had it (social-activity, github-repos, blogroll, feedland,
webmentions) are unchanged. Also wraps inline search and custom-html
widgets in all sidebar container files.
Show 2 recent tracks from each source (4 total) instead of only
Funkwhale. Removed stats section — users can visit /listening/ for
full statistics. Now Playing indicator works from either source.
The search and custom-html widget types were using a non-existent
sidebar-widget class instead of the standard .widget class, causing
them to lack the spacing, border, and background styling that all
other widgets get. Updated all 4 sidebar containers.
Widget cards now have white bg, border, and shadow in light mode for
clear visual separation. Each widget has bottom margin for spacing.
Recent-comments widget updated to use standard .widget/.widget-title
classes instead of custom sidebar-widget class.
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."
Add recent-comments widget case to data-driven routers in sidebar.njk
and homepage-sidebar.njk (was missing). Add to fallback defaults in
both sidebar.njk and blog-sidebar.njk so it shows without homepage
builder configuration.
- 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

Use two-strategy approach to work around async shortcode limitation
in deeply nested Nunjucks includes:
- blog.njk: async {% unfurl %} shortcode (top-level, works fine)
- recent-posts.njk: sync {{ url | unfurlCard | safe }} filter
(reads from pre-populated disk cache)
eleventy.before hook scans content files and pre-fetches all
interaction URLs before templates render, ensuring the sync filter
always has data — even on first build.
CV page now reads layout config from cv-page.json when available,
supporting single-column, two-column, and full-width hero layouts with
configurable sections, sidebar widgets, and footer columns. Falls back
to the previous hardcoded layout when no config exists.
Items without a type field (existing data before type feature was added)
were only appearing in "personal" filtered views. Since the /cv/ page uses
work-only variants, all existing untyped data was hidden. Changed filtering
so untyped items appear in both work and personal views.
Also guard cv.skills dictsort in cv.njk against undefined.
Add thin-wrapper templates for work/personal filtering of CV sections:
- 8 new templates: cv-{experience,education,skills,interests}-{personal,work}.njk
- cv-languages.njk: standalone languages section (split from education)
- homepage-section.njk: 9 new routes for filtered variants
- cv.njk: uses work-only variants for the /cv/ page
- Base templates: filterType support in experience, education, skills, interests
- _data/cv.js: skillTypes and interestTypes fallback fields
Show rich link preview cards in bookmarks, likes, replies, reposts
collection pages and the homepage recent posts section. URLs are
fetched once and cached — the same cache serves all templates.
The target URL in likes, bookmarks, replies, and reposts now renders
as a rich OpenGraph card via the unfurl shortcode instead of a bare
link. The raw URL remains below the card for h-cite microformat
compatibility. Results are cached in .cache/unfurl/ for 1 week.
- 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
- Add ActivityPub/Fediverse platform badge (purple, network icon) to
interactions page alongside existing Mastodon and Bluesky badges
- Detect platform from Bridgy source URLs and author URLs for
webmention.io items that lack a platform field
- Filter self-referencing syndication URLs from "Also on" footer so
self-hosted AP posts don't show a redundant link back to the site
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.
The webmentions sidebar widget uses Alpine.js + fetch API but was
missing the is-land on:visible wrapper that all other JS-dependent
sidebar widgets have. This defers its initialization until scrolled
into view, consistent with social-activity, github-repos, funkwhale,
blogroll, and feedland widgets.

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.
