Collapsement Achieved

The navbar now implements a collapsing list of projects. It was just a matter of implementing a standard Bootstrap drop-down navmenu, but having never done it, took me a while to sort out. (Hint for those who follow: Be sure you’re reading the Bootstrap docs for the version of Bootstrap you’re actually using. :-)

I’ve also checked it on my phone to confirm that the drop-down still functions correctly when the main navbar has been hidden behind a collapse button.

The next hurdle in the folding menu saga is to populate the dropmenu with a dynamic list of projects instead of hard coding it in the config file.

Obsidian-fu

Refactoring the shadowmaker has become a bigger headache than I had originally anticipated, but it’s for the long-term health of the system, so I’m sticking to my guns. This weekend added further drama when I finally stopped running away from frontmatter and embraced it for all my metadata.

I may have to completely change the way I use Obsidian.

Ontology-2.0

While trying to integrate the many episodes of CaveTV into the site, I realized that the ontology was getting cramped. It needs to be revised to better distinguish between internal projects, external brand identities, multiple deliverables within a brand, and distinct showrooms.

What follows is the scheme we devised for what the abstractions are, how they should be tagged in Obsidian, and how the files will be managed within Hugo.

Cutting The Monster Into Pieces

Now that I’ve identified a useable hosting candidate, my final test of their service will be to roll out a full implementation of the websmith deployment scheme. But in contemplating how I’m going to do that, I’ve realized that I may not have broken the project into distinct repos properly. So I’m going to figure it out by explaining it to the rubber duck. (Meaning you. :-)
