This is the first post on my new site. It’s a static site built with Astro, which means it’s fast, free to host, and there’s no database or server to babysit.

Why I built it

I wanted one place I actually own to keep my work, projects, and learning notes, instead of scattering them across platforms that can change the rules whenever they like. Social accounts can point here; this stays mine.

How I add a post

Every post is a single Markdown file in src/content/posts/. To publish, I:

1. Copy this file to a new one, e.g. my-new-post.mdx.
2. Change the title, description, createdAt, and tags at the top.
3. Write the body in Markdown.
4. Commit and push, the site rebuilds and deploys automatically.

That’s the whole workflow. No CMS, no dashboard.

What’s coming

Homelab build logs, networking write-ups, and notes from whatever I’m currently learning. Thanks for stopping by.
