## Dialogue 

_Hay Bunker Admin! I already know how a website works, why do I need to read about how to navigate the repo?_

Good question user! The reason you should read this document is because this repo is in a constant state of change. 

_Constant state of change?_

Yes, this site is being built live by it's users. For example: 

<img src="test.gif" width="300" height="200">

As this is happening at any given time, the information in the repo is being rebuilt in live time, which means navigating the site by the standard means (like muscle memory) may not always be reliable, as urls you find content on today could be different tomorrow. 

*Okay, strange, why? Whats the point of a live site?* 

The reason for this is so that contributors to the repo are able to see their work instantly represented online for anyone else to also see. This does two main things: 

- Makes the process of developing a website much more rewarding, as you can see your creation going up live. Its a bit gamified to make the experience of generating a repo enjoyable; and 
- Other people, with your repo url, could observe you generating knowledge live. Think of it as a text live stream. 

There are several ways this could be used. For example, if you have a group together in a room, everyone could observe the output of the note taker in real time. 

_Okay, isn't that just google docs? Why don't I just use that?_

You totally could! However this whole project is meant to [to provide folks with a alternative](What%20is%20a%20Repo%20and%20Why%20Make%20One%20💭%20🍄.md) to google docs, other cloud providers, and the [surveillance](thatreallyblondehuman/Thoughts%20🤔/If%20you%20do%20politics%20who%20is%20reading%20your%20secrets%20-%20why%20you%20should%20de-corp%20your%20software%20stack.md) associated with those products. 

The repo is a community project, and if you take the time to learn how to work with it, you may be able to uncover new knowledge. 

# How to Navigate 

There are two root methods to navigate the repo. They are: 

1. Menu 
2. Search

And there are branching methods to navigate the repo: 

1. Organic 
2. Conversation with Daisy 

## Search 
As the site is rebuilt, so is the search engine. That means that all information that is added to the site, as long as it has rebuilt, is now also searchable. Further, the search method also searches the connections that have been made between documents. So with search, you can get info on what you are looking for, and topics surrounding it. 

In the top left hand corner click the search symbol:

This will open the search tray:

## Menu 
In the top right hand corner is the drop down menu: 

![](Pasted%20image%2020240913151546.png)

Clicking this menu will open a menu: 

![](Pasted%20image%2020240913152443.png)

All repo documents, if using markdown format, have another menu, which is the table of contents for the current page:

Clicking: 

![](Pasted%20image%2020240913151727.png)

Opens table of contents: 

![](Pasted%20image%2020240913155017.png)

That is it! You can navigate to any document on the repo through this method. 

## Organic 
The repo is built using interconnected links. Those links are often [highlighted](Home.md)

As long as people have been following the [Syntax, Embedding, HTML, and Other Code](Website%20Manuals%20🤓/Syntax,%20Embedding,%20HTML,%20and%20Other%20Code.md) guide, then their links should work. 

We hope to get to a place where our daily logs can be published so people can fix their broken links 
## Conversation with [Daisy](Daisy%20AI%20🌻/Daisy.md)
This website is built using text files, which makes for lightweight html pages. Reading the information from the site is easy for Daisy. You just need to copy any repo link, pass it over to Daisy, and Daisy can answer questions about the data for you.
