The marks come from the simple-icons package (CC0) and are inlined at build
time — the earlier hand-drawn glyphs were wrong, the X mark in particular is
not a plain cross. Importing the three SVGs individually rather than the
package index keeps the other icons out of the bundle: 10 kB, not 5 MB.
Rendered monochrome in the surrounding text colour, with the text label kept
next to each one.
Strapi already records which admin user created an entry, so the byline needs
no extra field to fill in: the Article content type sets populateCreatorFields
and the API layer exposes only that user's firstname and lastname. The name
also feeds the BlogPosting structured data.
Also fixes the gap below the article header, which until now came from the
cover image's margin and therefore vanished on articles without a cover,
leaving the body text against the byline.
The interface is translated through @nuxtjs/i18n: strings live in
i18n/locales/*.json, routes are prefixed except for the default English, and
useLocaleHead emits the lang attribute, the hreflang alternates and og:locale.
The switcher is a native select rather than a custom dropdown: keyboard
support, the platform picker on mobile and correct labelling come for free.
Article content stays single-language — this translates the site chrome only.
The seal already carries the name, so it replaces the text wordmark in the
header and opens the footer. Small icon sizes use the central emblem only: the
circular lettering is unreadable below 48px.
Centred wordmark over a rule of category links, a lead article above a grid of
cards, centred article headers over a narrow reading column, and a footer split
into columns. Neutral warm-grey palette with a serif display face for headings
and small uppercase labels for metadata.
The browser never talks to Strapi: pages call Nitro endpoints under
server/api/, which are the only place Strapi queries are built. That keeps the
Strapi URL internal to the Docker network and avoids CORS entirely.
Article bodies are rendered from Markdown to HTML in the endpoint, so the
content is server-rendered and crawlable, marked stays out of the client
bundle, and the meta description is derived from the opening of the body.
Pages carry canonical URLs, Open Graph tags and BlogPosting structured data,
and handle empty, missing and failed states.
