The Daily Lore is a lightweight, static news aggregation website.

• News API for the headlines
• Materialize for styling
  • Custom build to avoid including unused components
• Netlify for hosting and continuous deployment
• Google Analytics for tracking pageviews
• StatusCake for monitoring
• Zapier for triggering daily deploys to update the headlines through a Netlify webhook

Check out the scripts in package.json. You can also develop using the dev script. Run $ ./dev to see the options. To get started, run $ yarn start or $ ./dev start.

If you make any changes to the source, the bundle will be rebuilt, and the page should refresh by itself.

To view debug output, set localStorage.debug = 'lore'; in the browser console, and reload the page.

The tests use Playwright, which controls a headless instance of Chrome. If you need to debug the tests, check out these debugging tips.

This website was one of my earliest projects, and I abandoned it for a few years before reviving it. The (terrible) legacy source code is in this repo.
