PingThings Blog

The analytics blog for the ARPA-E National Infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence project.

Authoring Articles

Articles are written in markdown syntax. Here is a guide on basic markdown syntax and here is another on extended syntax.

To include Mathematic notation in the article, we use Katex, which you can read more about and try out here.

Math Equations can be added in Inline Mode by surrounding your equation with $ characters.

Example markdown:

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

Math Equations in Display Mode by surrounding your equation with $$ characters. In Display mode you can use new-lines.

Example markdown:

$$
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
y = m*x + b
$$

Development on /blog

Getting Started

This blog uses Gatsby static site generator.

Developing

Before starting, please install dependencies:

yarn

To start developing, run:

yarn start

It will automatically, build the pages in develop mode and spin a webserver (usually in http://localhost:8000/)

Deploying the Site

Before deploying the site, you need to build the project by running:

yarn build

This will build the site inside the public/ folder.

Then, to deploy define your AWS credentials in .env file. Use the PingThings, Inc. instance and define both:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

After that, run:

yarn deploy

That will ultimately push the changes to the S3 bucket.
