Ferese website and handbook
The website's handbook is built from the project's Markdown guides, so the website and repository share the same documentation.

python3 -m http.server 8080 --bind 127.0.0.1 --directory build/site
Open http://localhost:8080 for the homepage or http://localhost:8080/docs/ for the handbook. Rebuild and refresh the browser after changing the site sources or guides.
site/index.htmlandsite/styles.css: homepage and shared visual design.site/content/index.md: handbook introduction.docs/*.md: guides; published pages are listed inscripts/build-site.py.scripts/build-site.py: renders Markdown, resolves links, generates section navigation, previous/next links, and the search index.site/app.js: handbook search and code copying. Reading and navigation work without JavaScript. Search is local to the browser, with no third-party service.
GitHub Pages
Choose Settings → Pages → Source → GitHub Actions to publish through the Pages
workflow. It runs when site or documentation changes reach main; you can also
start it manually. The expected address is https://ferese-wm.github.io/ferese/.
The site uses relative links, including for handbook search, so it also works under the
/ferese/ project path. Each build copies screenshots from docs/images into
build/site, which is ignored by Git.
For deployment setup, follow GitHub’s custom workflow documentation.
Brand assets
The Ferese symbols live in assets/branding. The website uses
ferese-blue-dark.svg. The README chooses the light or dark SVG to match
the reader's appearance and uses the flat blue SVG as its fallback. Keep their
1024×1024 canvas square so the symbol and glow are not stretched or cropped.
The favicon uses the flat blue symbol. site/assets/favicon-32.png is 32×32;
site/assets/favicon.ico contains 16×16, 32×32 and 48×48 images. These files are
checked in, so building the site needs no icon renderer. Their links work at
both the site root and the GitHub Pages project path.
The light and dark wallpapers live in assets/wallpapers. Both are
3840×2160 and are bundled by the installer. Ferese selects the matching image
when no custom wallpaper is set. Settings keeps both defaults available below
the current wallpaper preview.
Screenshots live in docs/images/screenshots and are shared by the README and
website. They use lossless WebP at the original 2880×1800 resolution.
