Stack

• Next.js App Router with TypeScript strict mode
• Tailwind CSS v4 with CSS-first tokens in app/globals.css
• MDX content loaded from content/** and validated with Zod frontmatter schemas
• next-themes dark/light theme support
• cmdk + fuse.js search over published posts and audit findings
• Dynamic OG images, RSS, sitemap, robots, and Vercel Analytics

Development

pnpm dev
pnpm lint
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit
pnpm build
pnpm start

The production build fetches Google font assets through next/font/google. If the local environment blocks outbound network access, pnpm build can fail at the font step even when linting and TypeScript are clean.

Content

content/writing/*.mdx   -> /writing/[slug]
content/audits/*.mdx    -> /audits/[slug]
content/projects/*.mdx  -> /projects

Filenames become slugs. Frontmatter is parsed in lib/content.ts and validated by lib/schemas.ts; malformed content fails the build.

Notes

• Social/contact links live in app/(site)/page.tsx, app/(site)/about/page.tsx, and components/ui/Footer.tsx.
• The CV link appears only when public/cv.pdf exists.
• Custom MDX components are registered in mdx-components.tsx.
• Search index generation lives in lib/search.ts and app/api/search/route.ts.
