Hello, world

Every blog starts with a hello world, and this one is no exception. This is a place for notes, write-ups and the occasional rabbit hole.

How this site works

Posts are plain MDX files in content/posts. At build time they get turned into static HTML, so the whole site is a folder of files that any static host can serve.

lib/greet.ts

export function greet(name: string): string {
  const time = new Date().getHours() < 12 ? "morning" : "day"
  return `Good ${time}, ${name}.`
}
 
console.log(greet("world"))

The stack

Piece	Choice	Why
Framework	Next.js (static export)	Familiar, zero servers
Content	MDX + gray-matter	Just files in git
Highlighting	Shiki	Accurate, build-time
Font	Space Mono	Warm and a bit retro

What to expect

Notes on things I'm building
Write-ups of bugs that took too long to find
Tools and workflows that actually stuck
Fewer posts than I'd like, but hopefully good ones

Write what you'd want to find when you search for it at 2 a.m.
