Waleed 5dc8d8f097 fix(landing): align author-page UI with the site shell and link bylines to it (#5655)
* fix(landing): align author-page UI with the site shell and link bylines to it

Rebuilds ContentAuthorPage/ContentAuthorLoading to match the standard
page-shell pattern used by ContentIndexPage/ContentPostPage (max-w-[1460px]
header, BackLink, framed post-list rows with hover states) instead of the
previous bare max-w-[900px] container with a 2-column image grid. Adds a
styled not-found fallback matching the comparisons/integrations pattern.

The byline author Link in ContentPostPage now points at the internal
author page (/{basePath}/authors/{id}) instead of the author's external
X/GitHub profile, giving the author page a real navigation entry point for
the first time - previously it was only reachable via the sitemap.

Also fixes both author-page route files to match on any of a post's
authors (post.authors.some(a => a.id === id)) instead of only the primary
author (post.author.id === id), so posts with co-authors show up on every
listed author's page, consistent with the sitemap's own author enumeration.

* fix(landing): address review findings on author-page UI rebuild

- Not-found fallback no longer renders a nested <main id='main-content'>
  - blog/layout.tsx and library/layout.tsx already provide that landmark,
  so the fallback now uses <section> like the rest of the component.
- Byline author link now encodeURIComponent()s the author id before
  using it as a route segment.
- Loading skeleton's post-list wrapper now matches the real page's
  mx-auto max-w-[1460px] shell (was mx-20/max-lg:mx-8, which stretches
  past the header on wide viewports).

* fix(landing): make author Person.image an absolute URL in JSON-LD

Same class of bug as the earlier article-image fix: author.avatarUrl is a
site-relative path, so Person.image was emitting an invalid relative URL
for crawlers. Prefixes with SITE_URL, matching buildArticleJsonLd's
existing pattern.

* fix(landing): align author not-found fallback width with the site convention

max-w-[1446px]/px-12 was copied from comparisons/not-found.tsx, which turns
out to be the outlier - models/not-found.tsx and integrations/not-found.tsx
both use max-w-[1460px]/px-20, matching the rest of the site's shell and
this component's own success-state header.

* fix(landing): encode author id consistently in every author URL builder

The byline link encoded the author id, but buildAuthorMetadata's canonical
URL, buildAuthorGraphJsonLd's Person.url/BreadcrumbList item, and
sitemap.ts's buildAuthorPages URL still interpolated the raw id - a
mismatch could point sitemap/canonical/structured-data URLs at a
different route than the actual page. All four now encodeURIComponent()
consistently.

Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

npx simstudio

Open http://localhost:3000

Docker must be installed and running. Use -p, --port <port> to run Sim on a different port, or --no-pull to skip pulling the latest Docker images.

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Scheduled tasks in Sim — recurring agent runs on a calendar

Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule

Self-hosting

Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17

Or install manually via the pgvector guide.

  1. Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. Start development servers:
bun run dev:full  # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server

Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).

Chat API Keys

Chat is a Sim-managed service. To use Chat on a self-hosted instance:

  • Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Chat keys and generate a Chat API key
  • Set COPILOT_API_KEY environment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
