The record comes first
Most academic sites open with a portrait and a paragraph. The work is the argument, so we built the site around the record instead.
A faculty page usually leads with a photograph, a title, and a paragraph about research interests. The publications sit four clicks away, if they are maintained at all. That ordering is backwards. Nobody arrives at your site to find out what you look like — they arrive to find out what you have done.
The work is the argument
So erendemic opens with the record. Publications first, with the year, venue and citation for each; talks, teaching and books beside them; a short bio after that, for the reader who wants the shape of the career rather than the list. The page reads like a curriculum vitae that someone cared about, not like a brochure.
Keeping it true is the hard part
Lists rot. Anything you maintain by hand drifts from reality within a year, which is why so many academic sites show a 2019 publication list. erendemic imports from the sources that already hold the canonical record — ORCID, OpenReview, Scopus — and re-imports when you ask it to, so the page you publish is the record you actually have.
Editing stays local and deliberate: drag the blocks into the order you want, hide a section that has nothing in it yet, publish when it reads correctly. Nothing on the page is generated by a language model, and nothing is invented to fill space.
