Levi Neuwirth c877d8c9c6 library: sidecar-driven curation plumbing 
Adds the library infrastructure without visible change to the rendered
page: a 'featured:' list in each portal's tag-meta sidecar drives shelf
curation (up to 5, default cap 4, recency fills the rest), a content/
library.md snapshot feeds a '\$library-intro\$' slot for a leading
blockquote, and '\$<slug>-has-more\$' gates expose whether the unfiltered
portal overflows the shelf. Items are now loaded once and partitioned
by primary portal rather than scanned per-section.

README.md

levineuwirth.org

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              # cabal-watch rebuild (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 (rebuilds on save without a server).

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.py precomputes page-level embeddings for the "Related" block. To enable:

    uv sync                 # creates .venv with sentence-transformers, faiss-cpu

    The build silently skips embedding when .venv is 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 build calls tools/convert-images.sh to produce .webp companions next to every JPEG/PNG. Requires cwebp (libwebp on Arch, webp on Debian/Ubuntu).

  • PDF thumbnails. make pdf-thumbs generates first-page thumbnails for PDFs in static/papers/ using pdftoppm (poppler on Arch, poppler-utils on 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). See build/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).
  • paper/ — LaTeX source for in-progress academic papers.
  • spec.md — full architectural notes and design intent.

Architecture pointers

  • build/Site.hs is the Hakyll rules entry point.
  • build/Patterns.hs defines canonical content patterns shared by Backlinks, Authors, Tags, and Site.
  • build/Compilers.hs wires the Pandoc filter chain into Hakyll.
  • build/Filters/Images.hs does WebP <picture> wrapping; requires the .webp companions produced by tools/convert-images.sh.

For deeper architectural detail, see spec.md.
