Pardarsh website

The project site for Pardarsh: open infrastructure for public records that are traceable, attributable and machine-readable.

It introduces the two projects and collects the writing behind them:

• pardarsh-core: application-agnostic Rust infrastructure for public records (stable IDs, attributable history, provenance, typed relationships, verifiable export).
• Loklekha: the civic ledger app built on pardarsh-core.

Structure

index.html      the whole site (one page)
style.css       styles, including dark mode
.github/        CI, Pages deploy, issue and PR templates

Plain HTML and CSS. No build step, no JavaScript, no dependencies.

Run locally

Open index.html in a browser, or serve the folder:

python -m http.server 8000
# then visit http://localhost:8000

Add an article, thesis or doc

In index.html, find the Writing & docs section and copy one <li class="entry"> block. Set data-kind to essay, thesis, doc or talk (it only changes the label colour), then edit the link, title and one-line summary.

Checks

Install pre-commit once, then enable the hooks:

pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install
pre-commit run --all-files

CI runs the same hooks, validates the HTML with html-validate, and checks links with lychee.

Deploy

Pushing to main publishes the site to GitHub Pages through .github/workflows/pages.yml. In the repository settings, set Pages → Source to GitHub Actions once.
