WEISS.PRESS



HOW TO PUBLISH

Drop a file in PUBLISH. Its name is the address.

The one way any project puts a page on weiss.press. No GitHub, no model, no lock.

Drop a file in the Google Drive folder PUBLISH. Its name is the address.

  • sewer-plan.md becomes sewer-plan.weiss.press
  • Angelo Notes (a Google Doc) becomes angelo-notes.weiss.press
  • A file with the same name replaces the page.

Within about 10 minutes the page is live, it is listed on web.weiss.press, and the file moves to PUBLISH / PUBLISHED.

  • Drive folder PUBLISH, at the top of My Drive. Folder ID 1DsCoXHw7PUA4JnTU05Z5qJdt3_Bpssa5
  • PUBLISHED inside it: files whose page is live, each renamed with the date and time it went up.
  • REFUSED inside it: files that could not be published. The reason is in INTAKE_LOG.csv in the repo (modules/publish-intake).
  • A Google Doc, or a .md, .txt, .html or .docx file. A .json file in the press-build shape is used as it is.
  • The first # heading is the title. ## starts a section, ### a smaller heading. Lists, quotes and tables come through.
  • To set the kicker, deck or byline, start the file with three lines like these between two lines of three hyphens: title: ..., kicker: ..., deck: ...
  • Pictures are not carried yet. Links keep their address in brackets.
  • Every page is open, with no lock, unlisted and not indexed by search engines, in the same house look as every weiss.press page.
  • A name already used by a page this intake did not make, such as web, day or sewer. Rename the file.
  • Sheets, Slides, PDFs and pictures.
  • A file over 2 MB.
  1. A GitHub Action runs every 10 minutes and reads PUBLISH.
  2. Each file goes through press-build and the house template.
  3. The page gets its own address and a row on web.weiss.press.
  4. The change is pushed to the repo and Cloudflare puts it live.
  5. Once the address serves the new page, the file moves to PUBLISHED.

No model reads or writes anything. No PDF is made. A PDF or a Kindle Scribe copy is made on the Dell, never by this job.
