This is a placeholder post so the blog has something in it. Delete it, or
rewrite it. The file is content/posts/welcome.md.
How this blog works
Record a voice note. Get AI to clean it into prose. Save it as a markdown file
in content/posts/, with the same four lines of frontmatter this file has at
the top. Commit it. That is the whole thing. No CMS, no login, no admin panel.
The frontmatter fields:
- title is what shows on the card and at the top of the post
- date sorts the index, newest first. Use
YYYY-MM-DD - excerpt is one sentence, shown on the index and in the social preview
- draft set to
truekeeps a post in the repo but off the site
Reading time is worked out automatically, so there is nothing to set for that.
What you can write
Standard markdown. Headings, bold, italics, links, lists, and quotes:
The best content doesn't look like content.
Images work too. Drop them in public/ and reference them like

The actual point of this
Somewhere past a billion views, running everything on spreadsheets and notes apps stopped working. So I started building the software I kept wishing existed. That is the story this blog is for: the awkward, unglamorous problems that only show up once you are filming every week.
More soon.
