I think I will remove Tested locally with Both are looking great! |
Some older blog posts used this link. For the Code of Conduct, this feels worth keeping even though everything now points to the correct target.
@armanbilge The blog post cards don't have the "all cards in a row should be the same height" property that the project cards do. This is just an oversight and not intended, right? |

We're really happy with where this is at and are confident we can fix forward any issues and continuing improving! |

TLDR: This PR rebuilds typelevel.org with Laika and migrate all existing blog posts and events.
Try it out with:
For the last while @armanbilge and I have been prototyping a rebuild of typelevel.org on [Laika](typelevel.org/Laika) over at https://github.com/valencik/meow-meow-proto-site.
The result has been available at https://proto.typelevel.org/ for a few weeks.
We believe we are at the final stages of this prototype and are ready to make the changes upstream in this repo.
I think we need a full blog post on this effort soon, but in the meantime, perhaps some quick thoughts answering the five Ws:
Who
Lately this has largely been an effort by @armanbilge and myself, but thanks go out to many others along the way.
@samspills for her help in some of the first prototypes using Laika and getting protosearch actually usable.
@jenshalm for building and lovingly documenting Laika, connecting protosearch and Laika, and setting such a fantastic example of being a thoughtful and caring maintainer.
The Typelevel community on discord for their feedback and the attendees of the last Typelevel meetup where we discussed and demo'd this prototype.
What
We have replaced jekyll with Laika as the core site building engine. In doing this we now have a single
build.scalascript which is runnable withscala build.scalato build the entire site. This includes the basic site, RSS, and search.Along with new content focussing on the Typelevel Foundation and how companies can sponsor Typelevel's efforts.
Migration scripts were used when possible to try and make some transformations more auditable. For example blog posts were migrated in roughly 5 commits, one simplifying moving the files, one transforming the YAML frontmatter to HOCON, two commits fixing links, and then a tail of manual fixes.
When
Mostly built over the last couple months and hoping to go live any day now 🙂
Where
This is perhaps a weird question to ask.
But we prototyped over at https://github.com/valencik/meow-meow-proto-site
Remaining Work
And folks can discuss things in the website channel on discord
Why
Firstly, we are still ever grateful for the hard work by the 47 degrees team in rebuilding the site most recently. You can read more about that effort here.
Ultimately we wanted to rebuild the site to use our own tooling. Laika is a Typelevel org project and powers a lot of typelevel documentation sites. Additionally running everything from a single scala-cli script will hopefully reduce the difficulties some maintainers have run into getting the ruby stack to work on their machines.
