The Scrolls

Room Two of the Wizard's Tower. A text blog. Alexander's public voice in written form.

Requirements

  1. Markdown source files — One file per post in blog/posts/. Write in markdown, publish as HTML.
  2. RSS/Atom feed — Auto-generated at /blog/feed.xml. This is how Hermes reads the principal's voice. No API keys, no scraping, no $100/mo platform tax. Just HTTP GET.
  3. Minimal design — Text, dates, maybe a title. No images unless Alexander adds them. No sidebar. No tags. No categories. No pagination until there are enough posts to need it.
  4. Fast — Static HTML. No JavaScript required to read. The blog works with JS disabled.
  5. Portable — Alexander can port his best X/Twitter posts here. The blog is the canonical home of his public words.

Posting Flow

aw-post "Sovereignty isn't a feature. It's the architecture."
→ creates blog/posts/2026-03-15-sovereignty-isnt-a-feature.md
→ rebuilds static HTML
→ RSS feed updates
→ Hermes reads it on the next Rockachopa philosophy cycle

The Feed Is the API

The RSS feed replaces the X API we declined. It's:

  • Free (no keys)
  • Standard (20 years stable)
  • Sovereign (you control it)
  • Machine-readable (Hermes curls it and parses XML)

Depends On

  • #215 (scaffolding)
  • #219 (CLI posting tool)

Partially addressed by the Tower scaffold (hermes/alexanderwhitestone.com#1). Blog structure (blog/index.html, blog/posts/, build.py) is in place. Remaining: integrate with Hugo/11ty if desired, style individual post pages, decide on post rendering (currently markdown-only with frontmatter).
