Part 22 — Building series / course-style grouping

Generalized the container→ordered-steps pattern so it works for courses and series too.

The shape

  • A container post (#course / #webseries / #project).
  • Child posts whose primary tag = the container's public tag.
  • Ordered by published_at asc via a nested collection.

Why this scales

One mental model powers projects, courses, webseries, and travel trips. Learn it once, reuse it everywhere.

Next/prev pagination

Used {{#get}} to find adjacent steps for a course-player-style prev/next.
