Getting started

Web

1. Clone this repository
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run dev

Mobile (Android / iOS)

1. Run npm run build:app (builds with empty basePath for Capacitor)
2. Run npm run cap:sync (syncs web assets to native projects)
3. Run npm run cap:open:android or npm run cap:open:ios

Adding a book

Edit content/books.json. Each book requires:

• id and title
• author and authorSlug
• description written in neutral, descriptive language
• categories, tags, and subjects
• availability with links labeled as "View at..."

Editorial voice

Press uses quiet, respectful, precise language. Descriptions use words like "explores," "examines," "argues," and "reflects on." They avoid "brilliant," "powerful," "essential," and "groundbreaking."

See the editorial policy for full details.

Deployment

Push to main. The GitHub Actions workflow builds the site and deploys to GitHub Pages automatically.

Built on

Press is built on the ideas established in palmshed/base, a reusable foundation for static-first websites.
