Site: devtools.directory · Theme: One Dark Pro · Generator: Hugo

All content lives as .md files with YAML frontmatter in this repository. Hugo builds the site at every push to main and deploys it to GitHub Pages automatically.

Every content type is defined by a schema in data/abstracts/. Fields are typed, required fields are documented, and inheritance is supported (framework extends tool, etc).

Requires Hugo (extended).

• Static site — Hugo generates HTML at build time, served from GitHub Pages
• No server — filtering and search run entirely in the browser via JS + data-* attributes
• JSON index — Hugo outputs /index.json at build time for cross-section queries
• Schema system — data/abstracts/*.yaml defines field types, required fields, and inheritance
• Validation — missing required fields emit warnings in dev mode
