Archive layout rehearsal

Archive layout rehearsal

The key test was simple:

Could the homepage still feel calm when there were enough posts for the archive to matter?

That answer is yes, as long as the calendar stays blunt and the feed cards stay readable.

Early pass at proving the new shell still works when the feed starts stretching across multiple weeks and months.

Another placeholder media entry, this time shaped like an old terminal summary panel pinned into the feed.

Shell checkpoint

April 17, 2026

This is the first checkpoint after replacing the earlier CMS experiments.

The front page now does exactly what it should:

newest posts stay at the top
the calendar acts like the index surface
the rest of the site behaves like a calm little publishing system instead of a giant app

First public log entry after the Statamic rebuild, written to prove out the new homepage stack and feed cadence.
