ProstDev

The ProstDev website — MuleSoft video tutorials and AI-friendly blog posts. Built with Astro, hosted free on GitHub Pages.

Replaces the previous Wix site. Primary focus: YouTube videos. Secondary focus: SEO/AEO-optimized blog posts that AI and search engines can read.

Develop

npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:4321

npm run build      # astro build + pagefind (search index)
npm run preview    # serve the production build locally (search works here)

Search (Pagefind) only works against a built site — use npm run build && npm run preview, not npm run dev.

Add a new video

Edit src/data/videos.ts:

1. Add a Video entry near the top of the VIDEOS array (newest first) with a unique slug, the youtubeId, title, description, and which playlists it belongs to.
2. (Optional but recommended) Add a transcript at src/content/transcripts/<youtubeId>.md so the video is AI-readable and searchable.
3. Commit & push — GitHub Actions rebuilds and deploys automatically.

Each video gets a page at /video/<slug>, a raw-markdown version at /video/<slug>.md, and is included in /llms.txt + /llms-full.txt.

Add a blog post

Create src/content/blog/<slug>.mdx with frontmatter:

---
title: 'Your title'
description: 'One-sentence summary (used for SEO + cards).'
pubDate: 2026-01-15
category: Tutorials   # Challenges | Tutorials | Guides | Opinion | News
tags: [MuleSoft, DataWeave]
youtubeId: abc123      # optional — embeds the video at the top
heroImage: ./cover.png # optional
draft: false           # drafts are hidden in production
---

Posts render at /post/<slug> with an auto "On this page" nav, a Copy/View-as-Markdown menu, and /post/<slug>.md raw markdown.

Machine-readable / AEO endpoints

• /llms.txt — curated index of all videos + posts (llmstxt.org format)
• /llms-full.txt — every post body + video transcript concatenated
• /post/<slug>.md, /video/<slug>.md — raw markdown per page
• /rss.xml, /sitemap-index.xml, /robots.txt

Deploy / DNS cutover

Pushing to main triggers .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which builds and deploys to GitHub Pages. The custom domain is set via public/CNAME (prostdev.com).

One-time setup:

1. In the GitHub repo: Settings → Pages → Source → GitHub Actions.
2. Verify the site works at the temporary *.github.io URL.
3. Then update DNS at your registrar (away from Wix):
   • Apex prostdev.com: A records to GitHub Pages IPs 185.199.108.153, 185.199.109.153, 185.199.110.153, 185.199.111.153 (and AAAA records for IPv6 if desired).
   • www: CNAME → <github-username>.github.io.
4. In Settings → Pages, set the custom domain to prostdev.com and enable Enforce HTTPS.

Keep Wix live until the new site is verified, to avoid downtime.
