Daily web platform news. Published every weekday.
News body text is a single paragraph in Markdown format, with only inline code blocks allowed. Basically, plain text with backticks for code snippets. The total length, combining title, body, and the link (counted as 23 characters), must not exceed 500 characters.
- Create a 1920 × 1080 cover and export it as
cover.png. - Convert it to AVIF via
avifenc -q 50 --speed 5 cover.png cover.avif. - Use the AVIF version as the source file.
To add a news item, run the following command:
npm run new YYYY.MM.DD news-url-slugYYYY.MM.DDthe publication date.news-url-slugthe URL slug for the news.
The news stays hidden from production builds until 11:00 UTC on the specified date. A scheduled Netlify function rebuilds the site daily just after that, which is what puts the news live. Locally (npm start) all news is visible, whatever its date.
