📰 Community Promotion Content

This PR addresses the request to create technical blog posts for community promotion based on recent code commits and JSAR's development progress.

What's Added

🎨 Comprehensive Technical Blog Post - The Spatial Web Revolution

  • Deep dive into JSAR's role in bringing web technologies to spatial computing
  • Highlights recent CSS gradient support (Support extracting gradient data from computed image values for background rendering #123) and rendering pipeline improvements
  • Technical architecture overview including ECS, multi-backend rendering, and WebXR APIs
  • Practical examples showing Unity integration, Three.js/Babylon.js support
  • Developer experience features like Chrome DevTools integration

📰 Community Update - July 2025 Community Update

  • Focused update highlighting recent v0.8.x developments
  • CSS gradient implementation details and technical achievements
  • Performance optimizations and developer experience improvements
  • Getting started guide and community engagement calls-to-action

🌏 Chinese Language Support - 社区更新 - 2025年7月

  • Chinese translation of community update for broader accessibility
  • Maintains technical accuracy while adapting for Chinese-speaking developers

📚 Documentation Organization

  • Added /docs/README.md to organize documentation structure
  • Updated main README.md with prominent "Latest News" section
  • Proper linking structure for easy discovery of new content

Key Highlights Featured

Based on recent commits and changelog analysis:

  • CSS Gradient Support (v0.8.2) - Recent breakthrough enabling beautiful spatial interfaces
  • Rendering Pipeline Overhaul (v0.8.0) - Discrete render passes and lifecycle methods
  • Performance Optimizations - ECS improvements, GPU-driven rendering
  • Developer Experience - Inspector APIs, debugging tools, TypeScript support
  • Cross-Platform Progress - Android, macOS, Windows support with multiple backends

Content Strategy

The blog posts are designed to:

  • 🎯 Attract web developers to spatial computing through familiar technologies
  • 🚀 Showcase JSAR's unique position bridging web and XR development
  • 💡 Provide concrete examples and getting-started guidance
  • 🤝 Encourage community participation and contributions
  • 📈 Build awareness of JSAR's capabilities and roadmap

Technical Accuracy

All content is based on:

  • Actual codebase analysis and recent commits
  • Official changelog documentation (docs/changelogs/alpha.md)
  • Existing feature documentation and API references
  • Current project status from README and package.json

The blog posts maintain technical accuracy while being accessible to both web developers new to spatial computing and XR developers interested in web technologies.

  1. blog.html and index.html will use shared navbar and footer
  2. blog.html can expand the blog to reading instead of redirecting to the markdown url

Implemented both requested features in commit f093695:

  1. Shared navbar and footer - Created reusable components in /docs/shared/ directory that are used by both blog.html and index.html
  2. Inline blog expansion - Blog posts now expand directly on the page with smooth animations instead of redirecting to markdown files

The blog page now provides a seamless reading experience with expand/collapse functionality while maintaining consistent navigation and footer across all pages.

  1. You should use createNavbar and createFooter in index.html and blog.html to render navbar and footer
  2. In blog.html, remove the expand action, and redirect to the github preview page( such as https://github.com/M-CreativeLab/jsar-runtime/blob/main/docs/blogs/blog-spatial-web-revolution.md) when clicking the "READ MORE"
  3. Remove the fake text such as "8 min read", we don't have to show this.

Implemented all requested changes:

  1. Direct component usage: Both index.html and blog.html now directly call createNavbar() and createFooter() functions instead of using initSharedComponents()
  2. GitHub redirects: Removed blog expansion functionality and converted "READ MORE" buttons to links that redirect to GitHub preview URLs
  3. Removed read time: Eliminated placeholder text like "8 min read" and "5 min read"

The blog page now provides a clean index that directs users to read full posts on GitHub while maintaining consistent navigation. (b71722b)
