// features

content modules

Define a struct, embed forge.Node, register a module. List, show, feed, sitemap, and AI index — all wired automatically.

AI-first output

Every module exposes /llms.txt, /llms-full.txt, and /aidoc — structured for LLM agents without extra configuration.

zero dependencies

No npm. No build step. No framework magic. One Go binary, one SQLite file, and a Caddyfile. Deployable on a €4 VPS.

SQLite → Postgres

Switch from forge.NewSQLRepo[*T](db) to forge-pgx without touching application code. Same interface, different driver.

structured SEO

Canonical URLs, Open Graph, Twitter Card, breadcrumb JSON-LD, and RSS feeds — declared once on the content type, rendered correctly everywhere.

lifecycle management

Draft → Scheduled → Published → Archived. Status is enforced by the framework — templates never filter by status manually.

// content lifecycle

draft

Private. Only authenticated admins can read.

→

scheduled

Queued for a future publish time.

→

published

Live. Included in feeds, sitemap, and AI index.

→

archived

Hidden from lists. Canonical URL still resolves.
