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.
