build lore hub, a simplified github for the lore version control system, deployed at hub.lorevcs.com

it should resemble github but much simpler: keep lots of space, simplicity is key, and make intelligent design choices

use the lorevcs.com visual identity: teal with black and white, the loch ness monster ascii glyph in places, and the same monospace fonts as lorevcs.com

accounts with email and password, and also allow login with google

a home page showing trending repositories

a profile page showing your repositories and a github-style activity chart

allow starring and forking repositories

a how-to page explaining how to push, pull, add a remote and so on

engineering: use cloudflare products (d1 and friends), keep cost low, make it fast and simple

for email behaviour, use cloudflare email routing and a worker to handle it

lore hub is the lorehub http remote that lore reserves, so it must actually implement lore's transport protocol: real lore push, pull, clone and fetch must work against it, not just a lookalike ui

build it as a single cloudflare worker using hono with server-rendered html and no client framework, backed by d1: simplest, cheapest and fastest for this text-heavy design

store lore objects in d1 as a global content-addressed table rather than adding r2: lore objects are tiny, so this dedupes across the hub and keeps cost and moving parts down

authenticate pushes with personal access tokens that the lore cli reads from LORE_TOKEN; reads are public; a token may only push to its owner's namespace; auto-create a repository on first push

send outbound transactional email through resend and handle inbound mail with cloudflare email routing into the worker, because pure cloudflare cannot send to arbitrary recipients

provision the cloudflare resources and deploy to the authenticated account during the build

all repositories are public for the first version

implement lore's content-addressed object model exactly: entries and commits as sha-256 addressed json, so identical intent dedupes for free

an entry is addressed by its text alone; there is no kind field

enforce fast-forward on the server by walking commit parents, and reject non-fast-forward pushes

render a repository the way github shows files, but for lore that means the materialized brief: the deduplicated, chronological intent reachable from the branch tip, plus a commit log

expose the five transport endpoints under owner and repo: list refs, head an object, get an object, put an object, and put a branch ref

cache each repo's reachable object set so repository pages bulk-load every object in one query and stay fast, instead of one database read per object

email and password accounts hashed with pbkdf2 via webcrypto, with database-backed sessions in a signed cookie

sign in with google via oauth, creating or linking an account by google subject then email

let users mint and revoke personal access tokens in settings for pushing, shown once with a copy-to-clipboard control

lay the site out like github but simpler: a trending home, profiles, repository pages, settings and a how-to

a profile contribution heatmap driven by real push events, attributing commits to accounts by author email so it works even for history pushed before the account existed

star and fork from the repository page; forks share the content-addressed objects so they are instant

carry the lorevcs.com design tokens verbatim: parchment and cream, near-black ink, a single teal accent, monospace everywhere, and hard offset shadows

the favicon is the lorevcs.com favicon and the header is just the lore/hub wordmark, with no logo glyph

the loch ness ascii art is the hero, sized to its container so it always renders undistorted and never scrolls

send verification and password-reset mail through resend, degrading gracefully when no key is configured

handle inbound mail with an email worker that records it and forwards it on

create and migrate the d1 database, set the session secret, and deploy the worker to cloudflare

the hub must round-trip with the real lore cli: push, clone and materialize against it for real

document the remaining manual setup (custom domain, google oauth, resend, email routing) in the readme

lore hub is itself a lore repository following the lore agents rules: record only the intent that dictates how the project works, never one-off bug reports or anything that could be pii

a repository owner can delete their repo from a per-repo settings page, guarded by a type-the-full-name confirmation; deletion removes the repo's branches, stars and activity but keeps the shared content-addressed objects

a repository owner can delete a repo over the transport with their access token (an authenticated DELETE), so history can be force-replaced by deleting then pushing fresh

pull requests, github-style: merge intent from a head repo/branch into a base repo/branch, opened from either side by selecting to/from across the fork network; only the base repository's owner can merge; merges happen server-side (fast-forward, or a new merge commit with two parents) and move the base ref

speak lore's batch transport (upstream commit c5a2090): POST /objects bulk-stores a json array of objects and POST /fetch returns the want/have reachable closure in one response, so push and fetch take a constant number of requests; store each object's exact raw bytes so full-precision u64 commit timestamps (and thus commit ids) round-trip; keep the per-object endpoints for older clients

deleting a repository garbage-collects its objects that no remaining repo references, so a delete-then-push can truly replace history (e.g. re-author entries) instead of deduping against stale content-addressed copies; forking records the fork's object references so deleting a parent never collects objects a fork still shares
