www.webosarchive.org/pivot — webOS News, Tips, and Tricks.
pivotCE ran from 2013 to 2024. Its 279 articles were rescued from the dormant domain, and the site is open again for new writing. If you have something to say about webOS, it belongs here.
Go to /pivot/admin/ and sign in with GitHub. That is the whole setup — you get an editor with image upload and a preview, and you never need to touch Git.
What happens when you hit publish depends on your access:
- On the webOSArchive team — it goes live within about five minutes.
- Everyone else — it opens a pull request for a quick review first. Nothing is lost; you will get a comment if anything needs changing.
Ask in Discord if you would like write access, or if anything looks wrong.
- Summary is what appears on the front page and in the RSS feed. Worth writing properly.
- Categories are broad (News, Tutorial, Review, Editorial). Tags are specific (TouchPad, LuneOS, ACL).
- Images go in through the editor, not linked from elsewhere — the site is self-contained by design and should stay that way.
- Write in Markdown. Raw HTML is stripped when the site is built.
Add a Markdown file to content/posts/ named YYYY-MM-DD-some-slug.md, copy
the front matter from any neighbouring file, and open a pull request.
Please don't. The 279 articles marked archived: true are a historical record
of what pivotCE published, typos and all. Corrections belong in a new article
that links to the old one. Fixing a genuinely broken link or image is welcome.
SITE.md documents how the content was recovered, what is missing
and why, and how the site is built and deployed.
