Hello — the New Site Is Live

This is the first post on the new site, meant to shake out the skeleton: heading levels, code blocks, links, and tags all get a run-through here.

Why I moved to Astro

The old site ran on VitePress, which is great for documentation but a poor fit for the shape I wanted — a brand landing page plus a blog plus a set of bolted-on sub-sites. Astro 5’s Content Layer makes content sources far more flexible, and the SSG output is clean.

A few highlights

• Traditional Chinese at the bare root, English under an /en/ prefix (the A1 routing scheme).
• Light and dark modes, manual toggle, no flash on first paint.
• Colors and spacing all go through the tokens in DESIGN.md — no magic hex scattered around.

What publishing looks like

Posts live at content/blog/YYYY/<slug>.md, and the frontmatter needs at least title, pubDate, and description:

---
title: Title
pubDate: 2026-07-24
description: A one-line description
tags:
  - example
---

The body supports standard Markdown, including inline code and blocks:

export function slugOf(id: string): string {
  return id.split('/').pop() ?? id;
}

What’s next

Down the road I’ll gradually import the old posts from Blogger and add links to my résumé and the film-brain sub-site. First, let’s get the skeleton standing solid.
