- The ~33 KB traced logo moves from an inlined-per-page partial to /logo-sprite.svg referenced with <use> — cached once instead of shipped on every page (homepage HTML: 46 KB -> 13 KB). CSS custom properties cascade into the use shadow tree, so the two-tone cutout is unchanged (AUDIT §9.1) - favicon.ico regenerated at 16/32/48 from the 512px master: 71 KB -> 15 KB; modern browsers take the SVG anyway, the .ico is the legacy fallback (§9.2) - link-icons/internal.svg restored to the simple 4 KB path: it renders at 0.7-1.6 rem through a CSS mask, where the 33 KB traced detail cannot resolve (§9.2) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Personal site of Levi Neuwirth — essays, blog posts, poetry, fiction, and music.
Built with Hakyll and Pandoc,
with a custom build system in build/ and a Haskell + JS + Python toolchain.
Quickstart
make build # one-shot production build into _site/
make dev # dev build (drafts visible) + local server on :8000
make watch # Hakyll live-reload dev server (drafts visible)
make clean # cabal run site -- clean
make deploy # clean → build → sign → push → rsync to VPS
make build always runs make clean implicitly when invoked from make deploy.
For day-to-day work, prefer make dev (which serves the site on
http://localhost:8000) or make watch (Hakyll's live-reload preview server,
which rebuilds on save and serves the site locally).
Run make build any time you add or replace binary assets (JPEG/PNG
figures, PDFs, music assets). make dev and make watch skip the
convert-images.sh / pdf-thumbs preprocessing steps, so a fresh JPEG
will have no .webp companion and a fresh PDF will have no thumbnail
until a full make build regenerates them. Once the companions exist
they survive subsequent make dev runs.
Optional features
-
Similar-links and embeddings.
tools/embed.pyprecomputes page-level embeddings for the "Related" block. To enable:uv sync # creates .venv with sentence-transformers, faiss-cpuThe build silently skips embedding when
.venvis absent. -
Client-side semantic search. Downloads a quantized ONNX model used by
static/js/semantic-search.js(run once; files are gitignored):make download-model -
Image conversion.
make buildcallstools/convert-images.shto produce.webpcompanions next to every JPEG/PNG. Requirescwebp(libwebpon Arch,webpon Debian/Ubuntu). -
PDF thumbnails.
make pdf-thumbsgenerates first-page thumbnails for PDFs instatic/papers/usingpdftoppm(poppleron Arch,poppler-utilson Debian/Ubuntu). Skipped silently when missing.
Configuration
.env (gitignored, copy from .env.example) holds the GitHub PAT and
the VPS rsync target consumed by make deploy. Never commit it.
Repository layout
build/— Haskell build system (Hakyll rules, Pandoc filters, contexts). Seebuild/Filters/for the Pandoc AST transforms (sidenotes, wikilinks, transclusion, score embedding, viz, …).content/— authored Markdown (essays, blog, poetry, fiction, music).templates/— Hakyll/Pandoc HTML templates.static/— CSS, JS, fonts, images, vendored PDF.js.tools/— Python tooling (embeddings, importers) and shell scripts.data/— generated and source data (commonplace.yaml, annotations.json, bibliographies, similar-links.json).nginx/— vhost snippets shipped to the VPS (security-headers.conf,static-assets.conf,popup-proxy.conf). The live vhost on the VPS is the source of truth; seenginx/vhost.conf.examplefor the canonical structure and the include order these snippets expect.
Architecture pointers
build/Site.hsis the Hakyll rules entry point.build/Patterns.hsdefines canonical content patterns shared by Backlinks, Authors, Tags, and Site.build/Compilers.hswires the Pandoc filter chain into Hakyll.build/Filters/Images.hsdoes WebP<picture>wrapping; requires the.webpcompanions produced bytools/convert-images.sh.
