Context
The connection between simonives.com and Phronesis (the Substack publication) is currently thin. Visitors interested in Simon's writing must navigate to Substack and orient themselves there. A static feature on the homepage can surface the publication more directly without creating maintenance overhead.
Constraints
- The site is static HTML served via GitHub Pages — no dynamic feed pulling
- This must not create ongoing maintenance burden (no "rolling latest articles" that requires updating on every publish)
- Must not turn the homepage into a content platform — Substack is the publication
Solution
A static "From Phronesis" section on the homepage featuring one or two permanently selected articles — the definitive starting points for a reader new to Simon's work. These are chosen once and updated only when a better starting-point article is published.
Format:
- Section heading: "From Phronesis" (or similar — keep it spare)
- 1–2 article titles with a single-sentence description and a link to the Substack post
- A secondary link to the Phronesis homepage for readers who want more
This is a deliberate editorial curation, not a feed. The articles chosen should be the ones that best represent the thinking and would serve a senior decision-maker encountering the work for the first time.
Acceptance criteria
- Section is present on the homepage and does not dominate or distract from the main positioning content
- Links open in a new tab (
target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer")
- Styled consistently with the site's typographic and spacing conventions
- CLAUDE.md updated to note that this section is deliberately static and should only be updated when a superior starting-point article is published
