Markdown pages and case studies are in the content/ directory

Structured data such as CV, teaching and research projects uses YAML/JSON files under content/data/

Template Details

This template is a small Express application for building a personal website. Edited content goes in the content/ directory, including Markdown pages and case studies in content/innovation-projects/; structured page copy such as CV, teaching, research projects, community service and student projects organized by year goes in YAML/JSON files under content/data/. Navigation, analytics configuration and the profile image are set in config.yml, and static assets are in public/.

To run locally, first run npm install, then npm run dev, and open the address printed in the terminal; the default port is 3000, and if it is occupied the next free port is used, or you can specify it with PORT. For static hosting such as GitHub Pages, run npm run build to generate the complete site in dist/, including HTML and all content from public/.

The README does not document specific front-end framework versions, how to connect the analytics service, the full structure of content fields or additional configuration for production deployment; these aspects must be confirmed by checking other files in the repository.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

What to verify for this project

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hugo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

Source file / repository

This site is a small [Express](https://expressjs.com/) app. Editorial content lives under `content/` (Markdown pages and `content/innovation-projects/` case studies). Structured page copy lives in `content/data/` (YAML/JSON for CV, teaching, research projects, community service, and supervised projects by year). Nav, analytics, and profile image are in `config.yml`; static assets are in `public/`.

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```

Then open the URL printed in the terminal (defaults to port 3000; if that port is busy, the next free port is used unless you set `PORT`).

**Static hosting (GitHub Pages, etc.):** run `npm run build` to generate a complete site in `dist/` (HTML plus everything from `public/`).

After adding PDFs or editing `content/data/student-projects-years.json`, run `npm run check-pdfs` to ensure every `/pdfs/…` link points to a file in `public/pdfs/`.
