A starting point for writing publicly in simple markdown without changing the static-site deployment model.

<p>This blog is intentionally simple.</p> <p>Posts live in the repo as markdown, get built into static pages, and publish with the rest of the site. That keeps the writing workflow close to the code and avoids pulling in a larger CMS just to post notes or project updates.</p> <p>The aim is to make publishing easy — without weakening the validation contract:</p> <ul> <li>markdown is the source of truth</li> <li>generated pages and RSS come from the same post data</li> <li>local and CI checks should fail if a post has invalid metadata or unsafe markup</li> </ul> <p>Over time this will become a place for notes on software, infrastructure, explorations, and the work that benefits from a clearer public paper trail.</p> Christian Wilcox
