External links in post bodies now open in a new tab and show a
box-with-arrow marker icon, so readers can tell at a glance which
links leave the site.
- blogex: new Blogex.ExternalLinks.rewrite/1 marks up anchors with
http(s) hrefs at compile time with target="_blank", rel="noopener"
and class="blogex-external" (idempotent, merges into existing
class/rel values, leaves relative, mailto: and #anchor links alone)
- blogex: Post.build/3 applies the rewrite, so every blog gets it
- app: CSS in .blogex-post-body draws the marker via a mask so it
inherits the link colour; empty ::after content stays invisible
to screen readers
- make test now also runs the blogex suite; it is currently red
with 3 pre-existing blog_integration_test failures caused by the
vacuous link validator (parked yak
link-validator-never-sees-compiled-html-...)
1. Rename goto_engineering_post_page/2 to visit_engineering_path/2 for
better accuracy (used for both post pages and tag pages)
2. Simplify Makefile test target by removing explicit ecto.create and
ecto.migrate commands (mix test handles migrations automatically)
3. Update blog_test.exs header comment to reflect actual changes made
4. Move Sandbox alias to top level in data_case.ex
- Add Accept: application/json headers to all API endpoint tests
- Add GET /blog/releases/tag/:tag HTML page test
- Add GET /api/blog/*/tag/:tag JSON API tests for both blogs
- Fix feed.xml assertions to check body first, then content type
Ran a claude /security-review, fixed two vulnerabilities
Use a plug to resolve blog_id, returning a clean 404 for unknown blogs
instead of raising with inspect(). Parse page param with Integer.parse
so invalid values (non-numeric, negative, zero) fall back to page 1
instead of crashing. Add 5 tests covering these cases.a
Goal: have a personal blog, and try out another point in the 'modular
app design with elixir' space.
Designing OTP systems with elixir had some interesting ideas.
