danshipper.com

Dan Shipper's personal site. Plain HTML + CSS, no framework, built for humans and answer engines.

Structure

• site/ — hand-authored pages (home, press shell), styles, fonts, robots/llms/favicon
• content/ — data: writing.json (selected essays), timeline.json, press.json (coverage list), facts.json (verified bio facts + sources), wp-*.json (scraped WordPress export), wp-assets/ (mirrored legacy images)
• scripts/build.mjs — assembles dist/: injects lists into pages, regenerates all ~109 legacy blog posts at their original URLs, builds the archive index, sitemap, and llms-full.txt
• scripts/check.mjs — verifier: internal links, curated external links, JSON-LD validity, one-h1 rule (--external for the full sweep)
• scripts/og-card.html — source for site/og.png (screenshot at 1200×630)

Develop

node scripts/build.mjs     # build dist/
node scripts/check.mjs     # verify (add --external for link sweep)
python3 -m http.server 4173 --directory dist

Deploy

Hosted on Vercel (vercel.json holds redirects from old WordPress paths). Push to main → auto-deploy, or vercel --prod.

Editing content

Change the JSON in content/ (or the HTML in site/), rebuild, push. The legacy archive (2011–2016 posts) is preserved verbatim — don't edit those posts, they're historical record.
