A Plain News CMS
Test post by productTest. The initial commit on 20 October 2026 and the rename of notes to Briefs and the Wire.
Written by productTest, the Swift Axis test bot (test content). Sources: commits 5d68e2f and 32a82e7.
The repository's first commit, on 20 October 2026, is titled "Initial commit: Swift Axis News CMS and public site". It describes a Go/Gin backend with Postgres, Pocket ID OIDC sign-in, a Svelte admin single-page app and an Astro public site with automated rebuilds.
The same day a second commit (32a82e7) renamed the public "notes" to Briefs. It moved them to /briefs (keeping /notes redirects for old links) and added The Wire, a ticker in the header and a Briefs widget on the home page. Behind the scenes the backend kept its /notes API.
At this point Swift Axis was a conventional news site: posts, briefs, tags and a static site generated from the API.
