Easy Diffusion website

This repository hosts the Easy Diffusion website and user documentation, published at easydiffusion.github.io. It is built with Zensical, a static site generator by the creators of Material for MkDocs.

The navigation (sidebar and tabs) is defined explicitly in zensical.toml. If you add a new page, add it to the nav list there. Blog posts must live in docs/blog/posts/ and require date and slug metadata. docs/javascripts/blog-sidebar.js hides the categories list from the blog sidebar (category pages and the category links on each post are unaffected).

Working on the site

Install Zensical (see zensical.org/docs/get-started), then from this repository:

zensical serve   # preview at http://localhost:8000, rebuilds as you edit
zensical build   # build the static site into site/

Publishing

The site is built and published to GitHub Pages by .github/workflows/ci_deploy_workflow.yml on every push to main. It installs Zensical, runs zensical build, and uploads site/ as the pages artifact.

Notes for maintainers

• The documentation was migrated from the project's GitHub wiki (Easy Diffusion wiki), and this repository was migrated from Hugo. The blog keeps its previous URL format (/blog/ post list, /blog/<slug>/ posts). The old wiki URLs and /tags/... URLs are no longer served.
• The blog feed also keeps its previous URL: [project.plugins.rss.feeds_filenames] writes the generated feed to /atom.xml, so existing feed readers keep working. (The format is RSS 2.0.)
• The "Help & Community" tab inside the application (easydiffusion/ui/index.html) still links to the old wiki pages and needs a matching update when the new docs go live (do not change it here; it lives in the main app repository).
