this site was already messy before and it still is in a lot of places. the difference now is that i finally started turning it into a real devblog and portfolio combo instead of another folder i keep revisiting without structure.
astro helped because it gave the whole thing a frame. posts live as content files, the build output is clear, and deployment makes sense.
what changed
- moved the site into astro
- kept react only where it was useful
- turned posts into proper content files
- confirmed the site builds to a static
distfolder - matched that flow to my docker and reverse-proxy setup
what is true right now
it is not polished. parts are still rough. some writing is still too vague. some structure still needs work. but now there is a real base to keep building on, which is more important than pretending the portfolio is finished.
