need to call the command php evans downloads:clean every 5 minutes

Could have a very brief sentence or two saying something like "FriendsLibrary.com is created by MSF.com, a small group of modern Christians not affiliated with any modern quakers, but seeking to live in the same life & purity as early friends.

Maybe a "technical help" link to a technical help page.

Link to Spanish version.

Would contain a link to a page (/getting-started) which has several tracks for getting started. The block itself would "tease" the purpose of that page, giving a quick semi-visual indication that there are curated, guided pathways available for the newbie.

Has a very brief explanation of who the early quakers were. Link to a much more involved page with longer explanation, and an audio message or video or something...

Like /stephen-crisp/plain-pathway/updated/audio.

This could maybe be a slider featuring 3-4 super good samples of resources. (Penington, Saved to the Uttermost, TITIP...). Then the block could also have a bit of text saying, "Explore 384 resources" which would be an on-page scroll-to link to the Explore block

The initial implementation of download logging incurs a database read and write before the http redirect to the actual asset. This should be super fast and no big deal, but it would be much better to immediately redirect and then defer the lookup and logging work to a background process or queue or something.

When initially building, I couldn't figure out how to make a nullable foreign key in my downloads table so that the chapter_id column could optionally be a FK ref to the chapters table.

Didn't seem worth pausing to figure out now while trying to rapidly build out the site, so leaving a note here.

Currently just a shruggy guy. Should probably send a slack message or something.

Is this the language we want to use for printed books? Do people use that language? Or is something else preferable? Maybe..

• printed
• paperback
• physical
• book

This would simply (and hopefuly quasi-visually) explain that we offer free resources in multiple formats: pdf, epub, mobi, audio, and in some cases (eventually all) paperback. Maybe link to technical help things...

Does it make sense to call them all modernized? I could see a case for original as well. Or we could introduce another edition type of translated.

This block would have a main link at the bottom to an /explore page which would be the main landing page for those browsing/exploring all of the resources. But it would also have some key "shortcuts" to jump past the main landing page to some of the most helpful ways of browsing, like /explore/journals and /explore/devotional and /explore/people

Too much duplication between FriendQuery and DocumentQuery. When I have more time, refactor and DRY things up.

The javasctript is old and not modern, it has invalid attributes, requires global jquery, and is not easy to consume as an npm package with javascript.

I have a basic fork going to let me use it with webpack, but if I had time I could clean this up a ton.

Maybe use a picture of the Friends library books as a background. This would be a very short blurb saying something like "This website exists to clearly make available these docs because the early friends represent the purest expression of biblical, primitive Christianity."

Maybe could have a couple deep/scroll links to "who were the quakers" and "asset type explanation" blocks.
