v1.3.0 - Rich Cards, SEO & Privacy

✨ What's new

Cover images in post cards

Post and gallery cards now optionally display a cover image at the top (showCoverImages in SITE config, default true).

• Blog posts — resolves from frontmatter ogImage; falls back to the dynamically generated /posts/<slug>/index.png produced at build time (same behavior as Pagefind: requires a prior pnpm build in dev mode)
• Galleries — resolves from frontmatter coverImage; falls back to the first image found in the gallery folder (alphabetical order), matching the behavior of the /galleries listing page
• The cover image is wrapped in a navigable <a> link (aria-hidden, tabindex="-1") so it's clickable without duplicating the accessible title link

Configurable grid layout on the home page

A new indexPostsGrid flag (default false) renders the Recent Posts section on the home page as a responsive 3-column grid — identical to the /posts listing page. The Featured section is unaffected and keeps its fixed 2-column layout.

Per-tag OG images

Each tag page now generates a dedicated branded OG image at build time (/tags/<tag>/og.png) using a new Satori template. Tag pages also receive a proper og:type, og:site_name, og:image dimensions, and twitter:creator meta tags.

Enriched JSON-LD structured data

BlogPosting schema now includes mainEntityOfPage, description, url, and publisher fields for better Google Rich Results coverage. Canonical URLs are always derived from SITE.website (never localhost) with consistent trailing-slash normalization.

Reading time on cards and post headers

A getReadingTime() utility strips markdown/MDX syntax before counting words at ~200 wpm. Reading time is shown inline with the publication date on every card and in the post header metadata row.

Configurable tag pills on cards

Tags are now rendered as context-aware colored pills on each card (accent / amber for featured / purple for galleries), capped at 4 tags. Controlled by the showTagsInCards flag in SITE config.

🔧 Improvements & chores

Privacy-first social links (breaking for forks)

Personal social URLs and the edit-post URL have been moved out of source code and into environment variables (PUBLIC_SOCIAL_GITHUB, PUBLIC_SOCIAL_X, PUBLIC_SOCIAL_LINKEDIN, PUBLIC_SOCIAL_EMAIL, PUBLIC_EDIT_POST_URL). Unset variables are automatically filtered — no broken UI, no errors.

Forkers: copy .env.example → .env and fill in your own values. For production, set the variables in your platform's environment settings (Vercel, Netlify, etc.).

Font: Cartograph CF → Fira Code

Cartograph CF requires a commercial license for distribution, making it unsuitable for an open-source project. It has been replaced with Fira Code (SIL Open Font License 1.1). All --font-cartograph / font-cartograph references have been renamed to --font-firacode across components, layouts, and stylesheets.

Dependency updates

Enabled native builds for esbuild and sharp in the pnpm workspace configuration. Updated project dependencies.

File naming

Renamed internal demo content files from Spanish to English for consistency.

GitHub Sponsors

Added FUNDING.yml to enable GitHub Sponsors on the repository.
