crow-intelligence.github.io

Source for crowintelligence.org — the website of Crow Intelligence, an independent research lab studying how language shapes thought.

The repo is a hybrid static site:

• Main site — a Pelican-built site under pelican/ with a custom dark theme (pelican/themes/crow-dark/) and the lab's home, about, projects, and packages pages.
• Aporia — long-form visual essays under aporia/. The first is The Nagel Index, a scrollytelling essay measuring the gap between the public and private voices of seven American figures, with companion dashboards.
• Microsites — roughly thirty standalone data-viz pieces under projects/, mostly older exploratory work.

Building locally

cd pelican
uv sync
./build.sh                                # writes to ../output, root-relative URLs
python3 -m http.server -d ../output 8000

Production builds run on every push to master via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) and deploy to GitHub Pages.
