MNMM.CLONE

A single-file clone of mnmm.xyz — a minimal websites directory. Pitch-black, monospace, zero build step.

How it works

• index.html — the entire app. Tailwind (CDN) + vanilla JS.
  • Fetches the archive live from the Google Sheet CSV on every visit.
  • Falls back to data/sites.csv (last committed snapshot) if the sheet is unreachable.
  • Shows a clean monospace error if both fail.
  • Screenshots via Microlink: https://api.microlink.io/?url=https://{URL}&screenshot=true&meta=false&embed=screenshot.url
  • Grayscale → full color on hover. NEW badge on sites added in the last 7 days (from the sheet's Date Added column). "Top 5 New" section above the full archive.
• .github/workflows/update.yml — daily cron at 17:00 IST. Downloads the CSV, and if it changed, commits it to data/sites.csv plus a dated copy in data/history/YYYY-MM-DD.csv.

The live site always shows fresh data (client-side fetch); the cron gives you versioned history and an offline fallback — it does not need to run for the site to work.

Run locally

No build step. Open index.html, or serve it:

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

Import to GitHub

git init                       # already done in this folder
git add .
git commit -m "feat: mnmm.clone — minimal sites directory"
gh repo create mnmm-clone --public --source=. --push

Or create an empty repo on github.com and push manually. VS Code is only your editor here — the cron runs on GitHub's servers (repo → Actions tab).

Update the directory

Edit the Google Sheet (Website URL, Date Added). Changes appear on the site immediately for new visitors; the cron snapshots them daily at 17:00 IST. Manual sync anytime: repo → Actions → update-archive → Run workflow.
