Simple edits stay simple
my magic site
Keep straightforward content inside the route entrypoint. If the page grows, split it into
route-local _partials/ or a small logic.php beside the page.
Built with Kawhi
Start with one route folder. Grow into reusable pieces when the site earns them.
This scaffold keeps the default page local: edit public/index.php, tweak
public/page.css, and add route folders like public/contact/index.php
when you need more pages.
Shared only after reuse
Promote code to _site/ when it is genuinely shared
Use _site/components/ or _site/lib/ for code that serves more than one route,
not for every small piece of markup.
htmx-first interactions
Keep form handlers close to the page they belong to
When a page needs interaction, prefer a route-local handler like
public/contact/submit.php so the full feature stays easy to inspect.
