This site started life as a single hand-written HTML page built on the Solid State theme. It has now been rebuilt in React with Vite, and it finally has a blog.

How posts work

Every post is a Markdown file in src/posts/. The file name sets the URL: 2026-11-10-hello-world.md becomes /blog/hello-world.

At the top of each file sits a small block of frontmatter:

---
title: Hello, world. Again.
date: 2026-11-10
tags: [meta, react]
summary: One line shown on the blog index and in link previews.
---

Add draft: true to keep a post visible in npm run dev only.

Code blocks are highlighted

Fence a block with a language name and it gets syntax highlighting at build time:

public final class Greeter {
    public String greet(String name) {
        return "Hello, " + name + "!";
    }
}

func greet(name string) string {
	return fmt.Sprintf("Hello, %s!", name)
}

Everything else Markdown does

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by.

• Lists, bold, italics and inline code
• Links
• Tables:

Images go in public/blog/ and are referenced as ![alt text](/blog/image.png).

That's it. Write Markdown, push to master, and the post is live a minute later.
