This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Personal Nexus is a React SSR personal website that aggregates content from multiple decentralized AT Protocol sources and platforms. It runs on Val.town using Deno runtime with server-side rendering to create a unified personal hub.

• Entry Point: index.tsx - Main handler that fetches data and renders the React app
• Main App: App.tsx - Root React component with global styles and layout
• Components: /components/ - Individual sections (ProfileHeader, PostsSection, etc.)

The application fetches data from multiple sources in parallel:

1. Leaflet Publication: Blog posts via JSON feed (fetchBlogPosts())
2. AT Protocol Records: Books and check-ins via @atproto/api (fetchBookRecords(), fetchCheckins())
3. Static Content: Apps, open source projects, and external links

• Uses @atproto/api AtpAgent to connect to Personal Data Servers (PDS)
• Resolves handles to DIDs and PDS URLs via Slingshot API (slingshot.microcosm.blue)
• Fetches records from collections: buzz.bookhive.book, app.dropanchor.checkin, community.lexicon.location.address
• Constructs blob URLs for book cover images from PDS

• Simple in-memory cache with 1-hour duration (CACHE_DURATION)
• Caches API responses, DID/PDS resolutions, and external feed data
• Falls back to stale cache data on API failures
• Cache keys: blog-posts, book-records, checkins, did-${handle}, pds-${handle}

• Uses React 18 renderToString() for SSR
• Inlines CSS and Google Fonts in generated HTML
• Returns complete HTML response with proper headers

• ATPROTO_HANDLE: Your AT Protocol handle (defaults to "tijs.org")
• LEAFLET_PUB_JSON: URL to your Leaflet publication JSON feed (defaults to "https://tijs.leaflet.pub/json")
• GITHUB_USERNAME: Your GitHub username for fetching pinned repositories (required)

Each component is self-contained with inline styles using CSS-in-JS. The design uses:

• Purple/pink color scheme (#6a0066, #cc0055, #e8d4b7)
• Font stack: Caprasimo (headings), Lato (subheadings), Outfit (body)
• Responsive grid layouts (3 columns desktop, 1 mobile)
• Card-based UI with hover effects

All data fetching includes comprehensive error handling with fallbacks:

• Returns cached data on API failures
• Returns empty arrays when no data available
• Logs detailed error information for debugging
• Graceful degradation for missing external services

Key interfaces defined in both index.tsx and App.tsx:

• Post: Blog post structure from JSON feed
• Book: Bookhive book record with cover blob support
• Checkin/Address: DropAnchor location data with address resolution
• CheckinWithAddress: Combined checkin and address data

Designed specifically for Val.town hosting platform with:

• Deno runtime compatibility
• ESM imports from CDNs (esm.sh, npm:)
• No Node.js dependencies
• Single-file deployment architecture
