Minimal example using Franklin

[greimel]

The computational thinking repo is quite overwhelming. It would be nice if there was a template repo similar to this one that has a very simple Franklin website that shows Pluto notebooks.

I'm working on making the computational thinking repository simpler today!

[greimel]

Great, thanks :-)

@floswald has simplified the Compuational Thinking repo for his course https://floswald.github.io/NumericalMethods/ and I have been working on reducing his repo even more in a fork https://github.com/greimel/NumericalMethods to understand what's going on. I am hopeful that all these efforts will turn into a template repository soon :-)

Awesome! I didn't know about those, I will take a look! My PR is here: https://github.com/mitmath/18S191/pull/120 , give it a try

Well not sure I simplified it so much , it’s pretty much a full copy of what you had done minus the sliderserver hook up. Thanks for sharing the excellent material by the way.

The sliderserver hookup will also get simpler: instead of the 18S191 repository triggering the slider server to redeploy, the slider server can now autonomously watch the 18S191 repository and update itself: https://github.com/JuliaPluto/PlutoSliderServer.jl/releases/tag/v0.3.0 (I still need to update 18S191 to use this feature)

I turned Fons' PR into a template repository (see the website this template generates)

Instructions (see also the README in the template repo)

• Put your notebooks in the notebooks/ folder
• update newwebsite/book_model_small.json
• Put any pure md files in website/
• Run the newwebsite/generate.jl notebook in Pluto

The code should work fine for local preview and deployment on github pages.

Were there any updates on this front since then? ^^ Thanks for all this amazing work btw

[floswald]

This is a good starting point I think https://rikhuijzer.github.io/JuliaTutorialsTemplate/

The rewrite of the computational thinking site is done! Take a look at https://github.com/mitmath/18S191 (the Fall22 branch) cc @greimel

That's great! Would it be possible for you to give any (very brief) pointers on the development process, if it's not much to ask?
