The Folder Is The CMS

There's no database behind this blog and no admin panel to log into. A post is just a folder.

FIELD NOTE

This blog has no database and no login screen. A post is just a text file sitting in a folder. That’s the whole trick.

The usual way vs. our way

// HOW A POST GETS ON SCREEN 2 PARAMS

Typical blog (WordPress): Write in editor → save to database → fetch on every visit
This blog: Write a text file → done

There’s no separate publishing step: saving the file is the post going live.

STEP 1
Write the file

A post is a plain Markdown file (regular text with light formatting) sitting in a folder.
STEP 2
The site finds it

When the site builds, one line of code scans the folder and grabs every post automatically.
STEP 3
It gets wrapped and styled

The title, date, and layout are added for you, so the post file only needs the words.

That “one line of code” really is one line:

src/routes/findings/+layout.svelte ts

const modules = import.meta.glob('./*/+page.svx', { eager: true });

// STAT

1 line of code

finds and indexes every post on the site
