An astonishingly good implementation of web-based presentation software. Very hard to believe it’s written in JavaScript.
URLs suck

[urls]
[web]
jerakeen.org contains just about everything I produce, and I try to use sensible urls - every page has a unique url, of the form /category/slug/ or /category/yyyy/mm/dd/slug/. The index for a category is just /category/. Pages have tags, and you can see all pages belonging to a tag at /tags/tagname/ as well. You can search using /search?q=search_term. Finally, you can get a feed of any category at a /category-name/feed page.
Enough back-story. This system is just about sensible, but only because it’s so simple, and even then there are odd bits. For instance, why category/feed? Why not feed/category? Why does the search page have a CGI parameter in it, but not the tag pages? Suppose I wanted an RSS feed of pages tagged with ‘python’, what would that URL look like? /feed/tag/python? /tag/python/feed/? Feed types are not sub-headings under categories. The single-page permalinks make sense, but why do they encode only the category, date and slug? Why not the tags?

Magic django middleware to stop pages on other sites submitting forms on your site. No effort on my part needed. Very clever - must steal it.
