The repository is the source catalog. The web app turns it into a reader-friendly experience with searchable collections, clickable subcollections, topic pages, resource-type filters, and direct links to every reference.

Use the Awesome Architecture web app for fast browsing. Use the table below for a lightweight map of the catalog.

Catalog Tree

The web app uses the same hierarchy shown below: collection → subcollection → topic area. Each link opens the matching Markdown folder or topic.
