site — writeonce.de

The language tutorial, served BY the language. One binary carries the HTTP server, the router, the pages and the database; the chapters you read are rows in a @table, the markup is built by the wo-html dependency, and the whole thing is chapter 9's own example.

[deps]
framework = { git = "https://github.com/shoneyj/writeonce-framework", rev = "v0.1.0" }
html      = { git = "https://github.com/shoneyj/wo-html",             rev = "v0.1.0" }

Run it

woc . && SITE_TOKEN=change-me WO_DATA=./data ./target/site 8080

• GET / — the chapter index; GET /ch/<slug> — one chapter.
• POST /admin/ch/<slug> — edit a chapter (title/body, form-encoded, authorization: Bearer $SITE_TOKEN). Edits are WAL-durable under WO_DATA and replay on restart — that is chapter 6, demonstrated by the site that teaches it.
• Without WO_DATA the chapters live in RAM and reseed on every boot.

The acceptance gate is just site (scripts/site-accept.sh): two file:// dep remotes, build, the page matrix, 401, an authed edit, SIGTERM, and the edit surviving a restart.

writeonce.de deployment

The framework speaks HTTP/1.1 keep-alive and no TLS by design — terminate TLS at the proxy and forward:

server {
  server_name writeonce.de;
  listen 443 ssl http2;         # certs via certbot/acme
  location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; }
}

Run the binary under systemd (Restart=on-failure, Environment=SITE_TOKEN=..., Environment=WO_DATA=/var/lib/writeonce-site); SIGTERM drains cleanly.

What it demonstrates

Chapters 1–9 teach the language (values, containers, classes, optionals, tables, actors, deps, serving); the app itself exercises the framework's routing/:params, the Logging middleware, bearer auth (mechanism from http/auth.wo, policy here), form_values, @table + query + update by assignment, and wo-html's escaping/builders/Tailwind-style utility sheet — self-contained pages, no CDN, no JS, no build step.
