Blog
Posts live at src/lib/posts/*.md as mdsvex markdown. Follow src/lib/posts/template.md.sample for frontmatter (title, description, image, date, categories, published). Categories are one of development, work, life. The slug is the filename; only posts with published: true appear on the site.
See AGENTS.md for the full authoring workflow.
Deployment
The site deploys to Netlify on every push to main via a Forgejo Actions workflow (.forgejo/workflows/deploy.yml): it installs with pnpm, runs pnpm build, and deploys the build/ directory with netlify-cli. Requires NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN and NETLIFY_SITE_ID configured as repository secrets in Forgejo. Netlify's GitHub-app continuous deployment is disabled.
The GitHub Actions PR gate (.github/workflows/pr.yml) runs on the GitHub mirror on every pull request using pnpm. Before shipping, verify locally with:
pnpm lint && pnpm check && pnpm test && pnpm build
