How It Works#

1. Domain: kidlisp.com is configured in Netlify dashboard
2. Redirects: Configured in system/netlify.toml:
   • kidlisp.com → aesthetic.computer/kidlisp.com/
   • kidlisp.com/* → aesthetic.computer/kidlisp.com/:splat
   • SPA fallback: /kidlisp.com/* → /kidlisp.com/index.html
3. Content: Served from system/public/kidlisp.com/ directory

Updating the Site#

Edit files directly in system/public/kidlisp.com/:

# Make changes to the source
# Edit: system/public/kidlisp.com/index.html

# Commit and push
git add system/public/kidlisp.com/
git commit -m "kidlisp.com: description of changes"
git push

Netlify will automatically deploy on push to main.

Local Development#

# Start the aesthetic.computer dev server
npm run site

# Access at:
# https://localhost:8888/kidlisp.com/
