This is an Open Artifacts project.

What is an Open Artifact?

Think of Open Artifacts as open source for everything humans create, from toys to governments. They give life to our ideas by inviting the community to join us in their development.

Like open-source software, these projects are free to use, adapt, and improve. Cultural Creators, like us, engage with open artifacts as part of our Creative Practice to improve ourselves and to help build a better world.

Visit Evolve The World to learn more about these concepts and how they fit together.

View Raw Data (JSON)

The Foundation

In Progress

We need to establish the core infrastructure. The goal is to make it easy for anyone to clone the starter and get running in under 5 minutes.

Work Needed:

  • Add Netlify documentation.
  • Complete the GitHub repository README.
  • Set up GitHub Actions for automated builds and deployments.
  • Complete the Using the Starter instructions page.
  • Add documentation about generating favicons and site icons.
  • Add better documentation about available shortcodes and macros.
  • Add a site.xml file for SEO. This is pretty simple using 11ty collections.

The Mobile-First Experience

In Progress

The next step is to ensure the site is fully responsive and works well on mobile devices. This includes optimizing layouts, navigation, and performance.

Work Needed:

  • Optimize images and assets for faster load times on mobile networks.
  • Test across various devices and screen sizes.

Nice-to-haves and Enhancements

Planned

As I've built the starter, I've thought of new features that would enhance the user experience. These are not critical for launch but would be great to have.

Work Needed:

  • Add a 'copy code' button to code blocks.
  • Build a script that will auto-generate a theme file based on user colors.
  • Install the markdown-it-anchor plugin to automatically add anchor links to headings in the content.

Using Obsidian as a CMS

Planned

Many users will want to use Obsidian to manage their artifact content. We need to ensure compatibility and provide clear instructions.

Work Needed:

  • Document the process of setting up Obsidian with the starter.
  • Explain how Obsidian can work with Sync to manage content across devices.
  • Figure out a workflow for images and other assets when using Obsidian.
