Explorer-to-website evolution

Hermit's read-only explorer can be reshaped into a hosted website or domain-specific front end through records and renderers

The explorer is intentionally simple by default, but it can gain custom renderers, tailored landing pages, and domain-specific presentation without abandoning the file-first model.

Proof points

  • Explorer rendering can be customized through entity-defs renderers.
  • The homepage and shell can be adjusted while still reading from the same workspace.
  • This bootstrap sets up site, page, and capability records specifically for that evolution.

Summary

The explorer is not locked to a generic admin view. Because it reads the workspace directly, it can be adapted into a public website or a specialized interface for a given domain.

Why It Matters

That keeps the public surface close to the real data model and reduces the need to build a disconnected marketing site by hand.

Demo Ideas

  • Show a capability card grid on the homepage.
  • Add custom detail layouts for key public entities.
