this-week-in-neovim.org official webapp repository

Overview

This Week In Neovim

This repository holds the source code of https://this-week-in-neovim.org.

Architecture

The website is composed of two main pieces:

  • back, the backend binary. It has different roles:
    • As a web server, it responds to requests, such as /, /latest, weekly news, RSS feeds, etc. and serves the right content. Served content is cached with a TTL (currently 1 day but that might change).
    • It runs in a dedicated thread a notify file watcher, connected to a directory which contents is the contents repository. If a new weekly is added, it automatically loads it.
  • twin, the Rust library for representing weekly news, parsing, converting Markdown to HTMl, etc. etc.

How does it run in production

  1. The backend is compiled with cargo build --release and pushed to a remote production server.
  2. On that server, a clone of this repository runs git fetch and git rebase origin/master (that repository always stays on master).
  3. Then, a docker image is built by running docker build .. See the [Dockerfile][./Dockerfile]. That process copies the binary into the image as long as the server configuration, static files. A directory is created to be able to read from the contents repository.
  4. Once the image is built, docker tag is run twice: once to create the twin:M.N.P SemVer image, and another time to create twin:latest.
  5. A docker-compose project is restarted with twin:latest and the webapp runs.

Automatic updates every Monday

On every Monday, a git script is run by a systemd unit, according to a timer. That script simply git pull --rebase in the right host directory (which is mounted in the docker container). For short: thanks to the notify thread and mounting the volume in the docker container, there is no service interruption to do to release a new weekly: the only thing is to merge to master on the contents repository before every Morning CET. The refresh date time is currently set on Monday 9:00 AM CET.

Licences

The source code of the website itself (i.e. this very repository) is licensed with the BSD-3 New Clause.

However, the actual content this is published (the “weekly news”) is licensed with CC-BY-SA-4.0. The license can be found here.

    Hi @phaazon ! Very good idea :) I'm pretty good with writing rust code, if you need help, i'd be happy to contribute. But it would be great to have a small contributing.md that shows the direction this will take so people can contribute to features that are needed. Let me know if you need help !

  • Fix: use valid RFC 822 date-time format in RSS feed

    Fix: use valid RFC 822 date-time format in RSS feed

    This ensures that the RSS feed conforms to the RSS 2.0 specification. Tested with the contents from https://github.com/phaazon/this-week-in-neovim-contents. The feed is now valid according to the W3C feed validator (https://validator.w3.org/feed/):

    valid-feed

    Edit: this fixes https://github.com/phaazon/this-week-in-neovim.org/issues/12

  • feat: use ISO format for rss pub date

    feat: use ISO format for rss pub date

    As the title says. I was able to build the project, but not to run it (I think because the articles are missing). I don't do rust, so please try out this code for me and tell me if it works.

    Either way, this patch allows RSS readers to parse the pub date properly.

  • Invalid RSS

    Invalid RSS

    The current rss-feed located at https://this-week-in-neovim.org/rss is not entirely valid RSS. I noticed that because my fead-reader of choice did not parse the publication date correctly. I have run Feed Validator over the feed and got:

    line 1, column 201: lastBuildDate must be an RFC-822 date-time line 115, column 0: description should not contain controls attribute (29 occurrences) line 313, column 3: description should not contain relative URL references (218 occurrences) line 313, column 94: Email address is not in the recommended format (11 occurrences) line 313, column 127: pubDate must be an RFC-822 date-time (11 occurrences) line 313, column 137: item should contain a guid element (11 occurrences) line 934, column 0: description should not contain iframe tag (5 occurrences) line 3331, column 0: Non-html tag (4 occurrences) line 3815, column 144: Missing atom:link with rel="self"

    Most notably in my case is the use of an invalid date-time format (e.g. you used "26 Sep 2022 GMT" and the specification says e.g. "Sat, 07 Sep 2002 00:00:01 GMT").

  • Add back to home link on /all

    Add back to home link on /all

    Great job making TWIN!

    I was looking at the website and was struggling for a second going back to the home page after navigating to /all (before clicking the header).

    I thought it might be more intuitive to have a link mirroring More updates -> to get back to the home page so I added a <- Back to home link on /all.

    Perhaps it won't make sense here with pagination?

  • Cache invalidation

    Cache invalidation

    Notify events are well received but since we cache pretty much everything (RSS feeds, HTML pages, etc.), we need to explicitly invalidate the cache when we receive a notify event.

    After writing my explanation on Reddit, I was bored and implemented it myself. Unfortunately, I couldn't test it as I can't get the frontend to run locally, but at least it builds 🤷‍♂️

  • Provide the full article

    Provide the full article

    I assume you’re not going to run advertisements and tracking on the website, therefore there should be no need to only provide an abstract, or as it is currently, just a link to the article in the feed. I would recommend to let readers have the choice to consume the content in their own feed reader.
