Data-Driven Architecture
Behind the scenes, quotes, chirps, books, sites, and channels all moved from hardcoded HTML to data files. Each section is now powered by a JavaScript data file that makes content easy to add, filter, and maintain. Templates loop over the data with Nunjucks, and client-side filters let you find exactly what you're looking for.
All content is free, requires no account, and works offline.
