Gair Rhydd

A newspaper PDF is not automatically a well-structured website. We built an import process that preserves the original edition, extracts page content and suggests possible article boundaries for editorial review. Suggested headlines and bylines are not treated as ready to publish. Editors can review the source, shape individual stories and prepare their photographs before publication. The archive retains the full edition as well, allowing readers to move between individual articles and the newspaper they came from.

Much of the refinement concerns details that carry across platforms. We added prepared image shapes and focal-point handling so photographs keep their subjects in feed cards, article headers and native screens. Search, pagination and edition dates follow the same content rules across the readers. Other passes improved Android keyboard dismissal, native crossword navigation and the amount of database work required for unchanged content. Browser and native checks cover these interactions alongside the publishing and import logic.
