yomidori.app

The website for Yomidori (ヨミドリ) — a companion for whatever Japanese you're reading, for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Landing, screenshots, support and privacy pages.

The app itself is open source (MIT) at github.com/vlumi/yomidori. This site is not: the copy, the name and the artwork are all rights reserved (see the app's TRADEMARKS.md). The repository is public for transparency, not for reuse.

Build

Static site, built with Hugo Extended. No JS, no external assets — plain HTML/CSS, in the app's own palette.

The Hugo version is pinned in .hugoversion. Hugo is a build-time tool, not a runtime — there's no security reason to chase updates, and a bump is the thing most likely to break the build. So pin it and update deliberately: bump .hugoversion, run a local build, and commit only if it's clean. (The box's nginx / OS / certbot are what stay current, not Hugo.)

hugo server        # local preview at http://localhost:1313
hugo               # one-off build into ./public

Screenshots

The gallery reads its pictures from assets/img/shots/<name>.png and resizes them at build time; a name without a file shows a labelled placeholder, so the page lays out before the pictures exist. The names it expects are the ones in content/screenshots.md; drop the App Store PNGs in under those names and rebuild.

Privacy page

content/privacy.md is the app repository's PRIVACY.md under a front matter; when that changes, copy it over again rather than editing here.

Deploy

Served by nginx over HTTPS (Let's Encrypt / certbot) on the host for yomidori.app. deploy.sh does it in one step: it fetches the pinned Hugo Extended (cached per-version under ~/.local/share/yomidori-hugo, no root, never the system Hugo), pulls, and builds straight into the web root.

./deploy.sh                          # pull, build, publish to /var/www/yomidori.app
WEBROOT=/some/other/path ./deploy.sh # override the publish dir
./deploy.sh --no-pull                # build the working tree as-is

The build writes directly into WEBROOT (--cleanDestinationDir removes stale files), so nginx root points at the web root itself (e.g. root /var/www/yomidori.app;), not a public/ subdir — no repo or source files ever live under the served path. nginx.conf.example is the server block to start from.
