Guides
These are short, task-oriented guides — "how do I add a chart?", "how do I deploy?" Each one shows two ways to get there: the AI path (run a skill) and the by-hand path (the same edits, done yourself). Both produce the same plain, editable code.
If you're just starting, read Get started and the
Quickstart first — these guides assume you already have a portal
scaffolded with /new-portal.
The guides
| Guide | What you'll do |
|---|---|
| Add tabular data | Add a CSV, TSV, or JSON dataset and render it as a sortable table. |
| Add a chart | Add a line, bar, area, pie, or scatter chart to a dataset page. |
| Render a map | Put a GeoJSON dataset on an interactive map. |
| Connect a CKAN backend | Wire the portal to a live CKAN instance — the decoupled path. |
| Deploy | Publish to Vercel or any static host. |
| Theming | Bring your own branding with a DESIGN.md. |
