The MIRE/C³ blog is a hand-rolled static site. The listing page renders each
post as an article.post-card containing:
p.post-date— e.g.3 August 2026h2 > a— post title and link (/slug/)p.post-excerpt— excerpt text used as the item description
The scraper uses Cheerio to parse these into structured entries and upserts them into SQLite keyed by slug. Note: the listing page loads older posts via JS, so only the server-rendered cards on the initial page are captured.
