From Can’t Explain Raw capture

Evidence

Author: Colin Dixon

This directory is the receipt drawer. Files committed here, not dates typed in frontmatter, are the immutable timestamps.

Layout

evidence/
  YYYY/
    <slug>/
      README.md     optional capture notes
      source.png    or .html / .pdf / .md

An entry’s evidence.path points at the main file, relative to this directory:

evidence:
  path: 2024/format-gina-puppet/source.md
  kind: note

npm run dev and npm run build copy this tree to public/evidence/ so the site can serve /evidence/.... The copy is gitignored. Edit files here.

Rules

  • Capture the original source, not a quote-tweet of a screenshot of a quote-tweet.
  • Do not rewrite a finished capture in place. Add a new file and mention it.
  • Optional Archive.org / archive.is URL belongs on the entry (evidence.archiveUrl), not instead of this file.
  • Format-example stubs live under evidence/2024/ and should be replaced before launch.
