MindAttic.Ideas.Library

The first-party library of .idea components for MindAttic.Ideas — one home for every Theme and Widget that ships with the CMS, instead of one git repo per piece.

This repo is separate from the CMS host. The CMS (MindAttic.Ideas) is standalone and never references anything here — it only installs the packed .idea files as optional content. The only thing these projects compile against is the frozen MindAttic.Ideas.Abstractions SDK in the sibling CMS repo.

The one rule: the asset bundle is the single source of truth

Each component owns its assets (js/css/html) in its own assets/ folder — copied here once, never staged from another repo. That single bundle serves all three consumers:

Consumer	Takes the bundle as…
Raw .html pages	links assets/*.css / assets/*.js directly (see each component's assets/demo.html)
Standalone Blazor apps (IdiotProof, …)	references the component RCL, or links the same assets/
The MindAttic.Ideas CMS	uploads the packed .idea (assets bundled into wwwroot/)

Three packagings of one thing — not three projects. No duplication, no cross-repo coupling.

Layout

Themes/      Cyberspace, Light, Dark, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Widgets/     MindAttic-specific: OutfitFont, AtticFont, SacredGeometry, Tooltip, BackHomeM,
             TableOfContents, Cyberspace (effects), LegionPersonas, Frontpage, HelloWorld, Textbox
             Baseline set (MAIL-A3): NavMenu, Breadcrumbs, Hero, Card, Accordion, Tabs, Gallery,
             Carousel, Callout, CodeBlock, VideoEmbed, ContactForm, SocialLinks, BackToTop, Footer
dist/        packed *.idea — the CMS seeds these as optional installable content
             (no Pages/ — pages are CMS DB records, MAIL-LAW-8; the parked _wip sources were
              deleted as no longer applicable, MAIL-A4)

Each component is its own small project (so each .idea is independently versioned and uploadable). Common build settings + the Abstractions reference live once in Directory.Build.props.
