Dylan's Website

Static Astro personal site built for GitHub Pages.

Local Development

Install dependencies and start the dev server:

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:4321.

For a production-style preview:

npm run build
npm run preview

Content Workflow

This site is file-based. Content lives in:

• src/content/posts/*.md
• src/content/photos/*.md
• public/images/photos/*

Scaffold new content with:

npm run new:post -- "Title"
npm run new:photo -- "Title" "C:\path\to\image.png"

For the lowest-friction guided flow:

npm run publish:post
npm run publish:photo

Optional flags:

• --slug=my-custom-slug
• --date=2026-04-25
• --excerpt="Short summary"
• --reading-time="4 min read"
• --alt="Accessible alt text"
• --caption="Photo caption"
• --location="South Carolina"

publish:photo will copy the source image into public/images/photos/, optimize it as a PNG, and create the matching frontmatter file in src/content/photos/.

Deployment

The site builds to static output and is designed for GitHub Pages. Deploys run through the workflows in .github/workflows/.
