Building

Website

The website is built with Cobalt. After installing Cobalt the site can be built by running make.

Tools

The tools are mostly written in Rust, so cargo build --release will build them. The tools themselves are:

• add-url add a new entry to feed.json.
• generate-rss generates feed.rss, and the cobalt data from feed.json.
• opml2json converts subscriptions downloaded from Feedbin into JSON.

Running make will build the tools and generate the site content.

Notes

Adding a New Category

1. Add an entry to content/_data/categories.json
2. Add a new content directory and index file for the category. E.g. content/category/index.md.
3. Add the new category to the Makefile

Resize Avatars

cd content/images/u
convert *.png *.jpg -set filename:name '%t' -resize 100\> -quality 60 'thumb/%[filename:name].jpg'

Updating OPML

Download subscriptions from Feedbin, then:

./script/opml2json ~/Downloads/subscriptions.xml > content/_data/rust/blogs.json
make
xmllint public/rust-blogs.opml

Some manual tweaks to the JSON might be needed.
