So I got nerdsniped again.
I was supposed to create and print descriptions for stuff we’re showcasing in IKM but instead I created a tool to automate creation of such things in the future.
The project is not yet in a state I’d like it to be, but I’ll work on it to get there, including Cloud IDE support and preview generation.
Still: even in its current form it should be usable and useful for MusicJam, CCC, GameJam, Festiwal Światła, Hack4Change, and maybe even in HS itself.
The code lives under https://github.com/hs3city/descriptions . If you want to contribute but you don’t have access just ping me here and I’ll add you.
I also attach a sample PDF generated from the current version of the code.
The idea is simple:
- we have templates for different events
- we have a bunch of Markdown files with descriptions
- Typst program compiles all that into beautiful PDF pages ready for print (it can also generate sticker labels and whatnot if we want)
To add a new description, you have to add a new Markdown file to the content directory and update the content/toc.yaml file.
At this moment PDF generation is not automated on GitHub, but if you have Nix installed, you can run nix run '.#build' to create it locally. There’s also a nix run '.#watch' command that constatly watches your changes and updates the PDF in real-time.

translations today if noone has started it yet and make a pr for others to double-check perhaps?

translations weren’t added to toc.yaml. I haven’t touched that in case those were WIP
