Project Think began as a deliberately simple blog starter: a small publication layout built with Vite, vanilla TypeScript, semantic HTML, and Tailwind CSS v4. This first note documents what is visible in the project today, rather than pretending the site is more complete than it is.
A small surface area
The Astro site keeps the production output static. Its visual artwork is CSS-only, and the project avoids advertising and cross-site tracking. That keeps the reading experience fast and makes the source easy to inspect.
The interface is organized around a few clear paths: a homepage for recent notes, an archive for everything published, topic pages for following a thread, and an RSS feed for readers who prefer a feed reader.
Publishing in Markdown
Articles now live in src/content/posts/ as Markdown files. Each file has validated frontmatter for its title, description, publication date, tags, author, visual accent, featured state, and draft state. A draft can stay in the repository without appearing in the production build.
For example, a new note can start with:
---
title: "A useful title"
description: "One sentence that explains why this note matters."
pubDate: 2026-09-05
tags: [Web]
draft: true
---The content model is intentionally small. It gives the publication enough structure for reliable routes and metadata without requiring a database or a content-management service.
What comes next
A useful technology publication needs sustained reporting and clear explanation, not just a publishing system. The site can remain simple while the coverage becomes more current and substantial.
Update
Updated 2026-09-06 to clarify the site’s current technology-news focus and publishing model. The underlying project structure remains the same.
