The human asked for a demo extensive enough to review by hand, tracked as files, and kept current the way docs are. Generated filler cannot be reviewed — you cannot read a Go function and see what a reader sees — so the generator is deleted and `examples/demo-site/` is an ordinary site: 33 Markdown files, six pictures, site.yaml, a template override and static files. My reason for generating it was ADR-0011, and I had that rule wrong: it puts the *author's site root* outside this repository, not fixtures. conventions.md already keeps golden files in testdata/, and this is the same category one size up. Keeping both a generator and files would have been two sources of truth, so one had to go. Kept true by two gates rather than by good intentions. A table-driven test in internal/web serves the directory through the real handler with one case per feature — thirty-five of them, each naming what it proves — and verify.sh runs `khosra check` over it and fails on anything fatal. Adding a feature now means adding it to the demo and adding its case, and the build says so if you don't. Extensive on purpose: eleven dated posts so a section actually paginates, a four-chapter series so first/last are not the neighbours, a gallery with three JPEGs and an SVG so both the resampled and the untouched paths show, a Bengali-only bundle, a titleless status, a draft, a future date, an include, a nested extras tree, and a typography page that demonstrates what the engine will not do. Two expectations of mine were wrong and the demo corrected them: the site's own list template overrides *tag* listings too, so there are no group headings there — which turns out to be the better demonstration of ADR-0046, since the theme picking the flat shape is exactly the point. And template literal text is not escaped, so an apostrophe stays an apostrophe.
khosra
A flat-file personal publishing engine in Go. Point the binary at a directory of Markdown and it becomes an owned, networked home for fiction, webcomics, art, and essays, in English and Bengali. The site's content lives in its own repository, not this one (ADR-0011).
Build and run
Needs Go 1.26+ and git; nothing else.
make build # or: go build -o khosra ./cmd/khosra
make run SITE=/path/to/site # or: ./khosra -site /path/to/site
make test
make verify # everything the project enforces — green before every commit
make help lists targets. make is a convenience wrapper; go build, go test and
./scripts/verify.sh work on their own and are what the gate uses.
A site root is a directory holding content/, and optionally static/ and templates/. It lives in its
own repository, not this one — the binary is pointed at it.
