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.
