Blog¶
Notes from building this stack — hardware archaeology, container design decisions, and the occasional dead end worth documenting.
Hand-maintained index
Zensical does not ship a blog plugin yet, so there is no automatic archive, category, or tag view. Posts are listed here by hand until upstream support lands.
Upstream this is zensical/backlog#30 (blog plugin) and zensical/backlog#38 (tags); on our side issue #13 tracks when to drop the workaround.
Posts¶
- 2026-08-27 — A sixteen-year-old scanner, a Pi, and the button that does not exist · project · The Phase 1 pipeline scans, assembles and uploads a real document. Getting there meant discarding the feature the whole design was named after.
Writing a post¶
Posts are parallel files, one per language:
Use the front-matter template at docs/.templates/blog-post.md. Images
and other assets go under docs/static/images/blog/<slug>/.
After adding a post, list it in the "Posts" section above and add it to
nav in zensical.toml (and zensical.de.toml for the German
version).
