PyOhio Static Website

Multi-year static website for the PyOhio conference, hosted on Netlify. The 2026 site uses Rockgarden (Python SSG) with a custom DaisyUI theme. Previous years are archived via a git submodule.

• Rockgarden (pip install rockgarden)
• Node.js / npm (theme CSS rebuilds only)

Theme Development

The 2026 site uses a custom theme at 2026/_themes/pyohio/ built with Tailwind CSS v4 + DaisyUI v5.

To modify the theme:

1. Edit CSS in 2026/_themes/pyohio/static-src/input.css
2. Edit templates in 2026/_themes/pyohio/ (Jinja2)
3. Rebuild CSS: just theme-css
4. Rebuild site: just build or just dev

Theme CSS must be rebuilt after changing templates (Tailwind scans them for classes).
