Unary Lab Website

Static site hosted on GitHub Pages at https://unarylab.github.io/.
Push to main and GitHub Actions deploys automatically.

To preview locally, serve over HTTP (the pages fetch() data files, so file:// won't work):

python3 -m http.server 8000      # open http://localhost:8000

After adding files under file/, run python3 scripts/generate_manifests.py so the local preview can find them. The deploy regenerates the manifest automatically, so this step is only for local preview.

Adding Content

Home — data/profile.json

Edit directly. Fields: name, phonetic, bio, email, scholar, github, linkedin, dblp, cv, photo, normy_caption.

Profile photo: drop a headshot at file/headshot/<name>.<ext> (any supported extension: jpg · jpeg · png · webp · heic). It's matched automatically by the name in profile.json, so swapping the file (or its extension) needs no further edits. The optional photo field overrides this with an explicit path or external URL.

Normy photos: drop images into file/pet/normy---Di Wu/ — all are picked up automatically.
