# Personal Blog
A small static personal blog. No build step, no backend — plain HTML, CSS, and
vanilla JavaScript.
## Pages
- `index.html` — home page
- `reading.html` — reading list page (curated links grouped by category,
rendered from `data/reading-list.js`)
- `contact.html` — contact page (opens the visitor's mail client with the form
fields pre-filled via a `mailto:` link)
## Reading list
The reading list is a single data file: `data/reading-list.js`. The page code
renders whatever is in it, so it can grow to hundreds of entries without code
changes.
To add a link, edit `data/reading-list.js` only — add an entry with a `title`,
a `url`, a `category`, and an optional one-line `note`:
```js
{
category: "Engineering",
title: "A new article",
url: "https://example.com/article",
note: "Optional one-liner shown under the title.",
},
```
Categories appear on the page in the order they are first used; entries keep
the order they are listed in.
## Development
Serve the directory with any static file server, e.g.:
```sh
python3 -m http.server 8000
```
Then open <http://localhost:8000>.
## Tests
Tests use Node's built-in test runner (no dependencies to install):
```sh
npm test
```
