# The worldwidetelescope.org “user” website

The user-facing portion of the
[WorldWide Telescope](https://worldwidetelescope.org/home/) (WWT) website:

### https://worldwidetelescope.org/home/

This includes the static user-facing pages but not the
[web client](https://github.com/worldwidetelescope/wwt-web-client) or the
[legacy API](https://github.com/worldwidetelescope/wwt-website) or the
[Communities](https://github.com/worldwidetelescope/wwt-website) component of
the web app.

You can monitor metrics for the WWT web services on [the public WWT metrics
dashboard][dashboard], made possible by support from [Datadog].

## Quick Start for the Initiated

This site is written in [CommonMark Markdown] and processed with [Zola]. Zola
is distributed as a single executable so it is ridiculously
[easy to install][install-zola]. Once you have Zola all you have to do is run

```
zola serve
```

to build the site and serve it locally for testing. The command `zola check`
will check the build and verify that outgoing links are valid. Zola has
[lots of documentation][zola-docs].

[CommonMark Markdown]: https://commonmark.org/
[Zola]: https://getzola.org/
[install-zola]: https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/
[zola-docs]: https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/overview/

Merges to `master` will be published automatically using WWT’s continuous
deployment infrastructure.


## URL structure

The files in this repository drive the following URL paths:

- `/about`
- `/assets`
- `/connect`
- `/download`
- `/home`
- `/learn`
- `/style.css`
- `/terms`
- `/use`

Note that the root path `/` is handled specially in WWT: users are redirected
either to `/webclient/` or `/home/` depending on a preference cookie.

Routing in the reverse proxy is case-insensitive, as were the URLs in the
original app backed, so the generated website provides numerous capitalized
aliases to the above too.
