Bug Fixes
- Site title missing: CSS
.site-titlewas hidden byp { display: none }— fixed withp:not(.site-title)selector - All JS features broken:
minifyJScollapsed all lines into one, causing a//comment to comment out all 29 function definitions. Fixed by preserving line breaks in minifier switchLangregex corrupted:minifyJSline-comment removal (//) incorrectly stripped//inside regex literals like/\/zh-cn\/sites\//. Fixed by removing the buggy regex-based comment removal- Preview 404 on
/:serve.jsmissing directory index handling for/→index.html - SEO content merged: Whitespace collapse caused content paragraphs to merge. Fixed by keeping newlines during minification
Features
- Search URL parameter: Search now supports
?q=parameter — typing in search box updates the URL without page reload; opening/?q=kicadauto-fills and filters results - robots.txt: AI crawler friendly — explicitly allows GPTBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended; disallows CCBot (training only)
- llms.txt: Added AI context file (llmstxt.org standard) listing site overview, 17 tool categories, and notable tools
Technical Improvements
- minifyJS: Replaced fragile regex-based minifier with safe per-line trimming, eliminating all regex literal corruption issues
