- Updated docker-compose.yml to mount data directory for improved file access.
- Implemented a unified cache generation function in engine.py to streamline cache creation for blog posts, sidenotes, outlines, quotes, connections, and terms.
- Replaced individual cache extraction functions with a single MetadataCache class for cleaner access to cached data.
- Modified prebuild_cache.py to utilize the new unified cache function, ensuring all cache files are generated in a single sweep.
- Enhanced outlines.html template to simplify anchor URL generation for headings.
Added prebuild_cache.py script that generates all site caches (blog posts, sidenotes, outlines, quotes, connections, terms) as JSON files during Docker build. Modified engine.py to load pre-built caches on startup, eliminating the 30-40 second cache preload delay and making the site instantly responsive.
Key improvements:
- Zero startup delay with pre-built caches
- Proper datetime serialization/deserialization
- Graceful fallback to runtime caching if pre-built files missing
- Technology serving human consciousness - mechanical work during build, instant experience for users
