# Introduction

This repository contains code for the website https://zainezq.com, which serves as a central familial hub for me.

The site is written using Emacs and Org-mode, and exported using the `org-publish` functionality. See the `build-site.el` script for details on how the site is built and published.

## Local authoring UI

Run `make author` and open `http://127.0.0.1:8765` to create or edit blog and post Org files from a browser.

The editor writes normal `.org` pages with the metadata used by the publishing pipeline:

- blogs are created under `blogs/YYYY/MM-month/slug.org`
- posts are created under `posts/slug.org`, or `posts/section/slug.org` when a section is provided
- saving a page starts `emacs -Q --script build-site.el` and then regenerates the search index

While that build is running, the UI disables editing and the API rejects further saves. The status panel unlocks the editor when publishing finishes.
