Overview and System Role

child-sites means independent branded frontends. Each is a separate Vite React application. They all consume the same Wirero backend API, but each has its own branding, domain, and tag-based content filter.

What Child Sites Do

Responsibility	Who handles it
Fetch published articles	Child site (via /api/v1/client endpoints)
Display articles to readers	Child site
Store or edit articles	Backend (news-server)
Decide which articles appear	Backend (tag-based routing)

They Are Not Shared at Runtime

Each directory in child-sites/ is a standalone app with its own package.json and dev server. There is no shared runtime between them — they just share the same API.

Tip

To add a new child site, copy an existing one and update its tag filter, branding, and domain config. It will automatically receive articles from the backend that match its configured tags.
