Admin (/admin)

• Sign in with a fixed password (see Changing the admin password below).
• Session is stored in localStorage under the key admin-auth.
• Sessions expire 7 days after login; you must sign in again after that.
• Use the Log out button on the admin page, or call logout() from lib/admin-auth.ts.

Relevant files:

• lib/admin-config.ts — admin password constant (temp/no use yet)
• lib/admin-auth.ts — login(), logout(), isAuthenticated()
• app/admin/AdminPage.tsx — login form and protected UI

Note: Admin protection is client-side only. It is suitable for casual access control on a personal site, not for sensitive data.

Raw School 2026 (/talks/raw-school-2026)

A fullscreen presentation on AI as creative substrate—how ideas can be made of AI, not only by AI. The deck uses Inter on a black background, with prev/next arrows (middle left/right) and a page number (upper right).

• Entry: /talks/raw-school-2026 redirects to slide 1 (/talks/raw-school-2026/1).

• Content: lib/talks/raw-school-2026/slides.ts — edit titles, bullets, and slide kinds here.

Experience

Placeholder copy lives in app/experience/page.tsx.

Changing the admin password

1. Open lib/admin-config.ts.

2. Change the value of ADMIN_PASSWORD:

3. Save the file and restart the dev server if it is running.

4. Anyone already signed in keeps their session until it expires (7 days) or they log out. After a password change, old sessions still work until expiry—use Log out or clear admin-auth in browser localStorage if you need to force re-login immediately.

Default password before you change it: change-me.
