ankit.md

A minimalist personal site — writing, projects, and small experiments. Built with Astro + one React island, hand-written CSS, and a single accent colour.

Writing a post

Create a Markdown (or MDX) file in src/content/writing/:

---
title: My new post
date: 2026-06-01
description: A one-line hook. (optional)
draft: false
---

Your words here.

Save it. It appears on /writing and the home page. That's the whole workflow.

Adding a project

Same idea, in src/content/projects/:

---
title: My thing
date: 2026-06-01
summary: One line describing it.
status: live   # live | building | archived
url: https://example.com   # optional
---

What it is and why it exists.

Commands

Command	Action
npm run dev	Start the dev server
npm run build	Build the static site to ./dist/
npm run preview	Preview the production build locally

How it's structured

src/
  content/
    writing/        ← Markdown posts
    projects/       ← Markdown project pages
  content.config.ts ← collection schemas
  layouts/Base.astro
  components/ThemeToggle.tsx  ← the one React island
  pages/            ← routes
  styles/global.css ← all the design lives here

Design notes: warm-paper light mode + warm-ink dark mode, a single clay accent (--accent), a serif body for reading, and as few elements as possible.
